With its robust security and automated processes, Blackbox is an excellent tool for securely storing secrets within Git.
  • Blackbox - Secrets amongst your code
    1 project | dev.to | 14 Jan 2023
    One of the major concerns amongst developers is how to store shared secrets. Storing secrets in a config file along with your source code is problematic as it can compromise privacy. Storing it outside without proper process or documentation can tend to be forgotten (not saying this is not good as using SAAS tools like Vault is the way to go). But in case you have a limited budget and limited capability, using GPG is the way to go. Here comes Blackbox.
