Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Encrypting your secrets with Mozilla SOPS using two AWS KMS Keys
Mozilla SOPS (Secrets OPerationS) is an open-source command-line tool for managing and storing secrets. It uses secure encryption methods to encrypt secrets at rest and decrypt them at runtime. SOPS supports a variety of key management systems, including AWS KMS, GCP KMS, Azure Key Vault, and PGP. It's particularly useful in a DevOps context where sensitive data like API keys, passwords, or certificates need to be securely managed and seamlessly integrated into application workflows.

Tracking SQLite Database Changes in Git
We do the exact same thing to keep track of some credentials we use sops[1] and AWS KMS to separate credentials by sensitivity, then use the git differ to view the diffs between the encrypted secrets
Definitely not best practice security-wise, but it works well

Show HN: Shello – Wrangle Environment Variables
I've found this is largely solved by strictly separating plain config and secrets, and then having secrets pull from GCP secret manager / vault / whatever.
You can then commit all the config (including the secret identifiers) and it all just works so long as you're authenticated with your secret storage system.
We do this for the live configuration as well in line with Gitops and find it to work well.
If you don't want to use a cloud secret manager you can also use something like https://github.com/getsops/sops to commit the encrypted secrets safely

Check your secrets into Git [video]
Basically, the simpler the better --just encrypt your secrets and check them in to version control.
We use SOPS[0] for this, and have found it to be pretty nice.

How to secure secrets of docker-compose stacks with git?
The answer is that secrets shouldn't be stored in the git repo at all, but somewhere safe like a password manager or Mozilla's SOPS which people seem to love.
-
Is it safe to commit a Terraform file to GitHub?
Unfortunately, the SOPS project is in some sort of a limbo state and there has been quite a long period with limited maintenance and unclear position from Mozilla. Despite the project being accepted into the CNCF, it's still unclear what will happen with it going forward.

using keyring - no keyring set and giving errors about backend
It looks like the software you're intending to use is oriented towards interacting with desktop Linux's keyring. While you can probably get this to work, I would recommend using something like sops as it's a more standardized way of storing secrets in configuration.

Learning with K3s at home. Is it "better" to store secrets encrypted in the git repo (e.g., sealed-secrets) or in a separately managed secret database (e.g., vault)?
For home use, I wouldn't bother with Vault unless that's really what you want to learn. Then it's worth looking into setting something up where you could use vault secrets, using one of the available options (I haven't seen the vault-secrets-operator being mentioned).

Hashicorp Vault integration with Secret objects
It is but it affects vault-secrets-operator too, see https://github.com/ricoberger/vault-secrets-operator/issues/104 (and no, I’ve only use vault-secrets-operator)

Automation assistants: GitOps tools in comparison
If you are using an external KMS in any case, then there are other options, such as the kubernetes-external-secrets operator that was originally started by GoDaddy and the externalsecret-operator from Container Solutions. If you use HashiCorp Vault, you also have the option of using the Vault Secrets operator. This works similarly to the Sealed Secrets Operator, but instead of managing its own key material, it retrieves the secrets from Vault. The CNCF Technology Radar from January 2021 provides an overview of the types of tools that are available for secrets management.
What are some alternatives?
sealed-secrets - A Kubernetes controller and tool for one-way encrypted Secrets
Vault - A tool for secrets management, encryption as a service, and privileged access management
kubernetes-external-secrets - Integrate external secret management systems with Kubernetes
age - A simple, modern and secure encryption tool (and Go library) with small explicit keys, no config options, and UNIX-style composability.
argocd-vault-plugin - An Argo CD plugin to retrieve secrets from Secret Management tools and inject them into Kubernetes secrets
git-crypt - Transparent file encryption in git
Flux - Successor: https://github.com/fluxcd/flux2
terraform-provider-sops - A Terraform provider for reading Mozilla sops files
helm-secrets - A helm plugin that help manage secrets with Git workflow and store them anywhere
terragrunt - Terragrunt is a thin wrapper for Terraform that provides extra tools for working with multiple Terraform modules.
