dotgpg

dotgpg is a tool for backing up and versioning your production secrets or shared passwords securely and easily. Getting started If you're a ruby developer, you know the drill.

Mac OS X brew install gpg sudo gem install dotgpg Ubuntu sudo apt-get install ruby1.9 sudo gem install dotgpg RedHat/CentOS sudo yum install ruby ruby-devel sudo gem install dotgpg Usage dotgpg init To get started run dotgpg init. Unless you've used GPG before, it will prompt you for a new passphrase. You should make this passphrase as secure as your SSH passphrase, i.e. 12-20 characters and not just letters. $ dotgpg init Creating a new GPG key: Conrad Irwin <conrad.irwin@gmail.com> Passphrase: Passphrase confirmation: dotgpg edit To create or edit files, just use dotgpg edit.
