Gittuf – a security layer for Git using some concepts introduced by TUF
I've happily been using git-secret (https://sobolevn.me/git-secret/) for encrypting non-critical (i.e. non-production) secrets for a while now. It sounds like Gittuf will do a lot more than git-secret, but for the use case of encrypted files specifically, is there a significant different about with the approach that Gittuf has taken?

Ansible-based dotfiles with fancy nvchad-based neovim + tmux setup
Secrets inside the repo. All the credentials, ssh keys, VPN configs can be stored directly in the repo with support of the git secret. gpg key is optional: config works fine if it is not provided and secrets are not decrypted.

Modern Perl Catalyst: Docker Setup
You might notice that some of the environmental variables have funky values that look more like template placeholders. For example "SESSION_STORAGE_SECRET=${SESSION_STORAGE_SECRET}". That's because there's a .env file that contains those (you can see it in the root of the GitHub repository page. As a good practice I try to isolate anything that needs to be secret right off the top. So even though this is a development setup and would need work to turn it into a something suitable for production let's try to start off right not doing the wrong thing by hardcoding all our secrets into various files. At least now there's just one file to secure. And later on if you move to something really secure like Hashicorp's Vault product, or even something open source like git secret you won't have to hunt all over the place for the secrets to keep. Lets now look at the rest of the Catalyst application setup:

git-secret vs Mozilla SOPS?
Hey guys, so I'm using git-secret as of now. Just stumbled across Mozilla SOPS today and finding it interesting. Which one you guys recommend and why? Advantages and disadvantages of each? I think SOPS is more robust and stable since it is being maintained by a large organization? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Help is appreciated.

Please explain like I'm 5 years old: what is a GPG key, a key server, and (especially) a keyring?
We use a modified https://github.com/spwhitton/git-remote-gcrypt on some of our git repos and employ the GPG Keychain app (from https://gpgtools.org) to help us manage the associated keys.

keybase git repositories
I used to rely heavily of Keybase reops, but since the takeover I'm no longer confident in their longevity. An alternative option is to encrypt files yourself and use a mainstream git provider. There are utils like gcrypt specifically for this use case. That way you can be confident in the encryption AND availability.

git-annex encrypted on rsync.net?
Yes, git-annex is perfect for this. It can do this with encryption via the rsync special remote. To store the git branches themselves, you can use git-remote-gcrypt. For backups, you can store the files on external hdds (additional to rsync.net) and keep them mostly offline/powered off. git-annex works really well with offline drives. Alternatively you can backup to another cloud provider that is supported as a special-remote.
