The Cottage Book – managing secrets in Git with usage scenarios

Age encryption allows devs to use the same ssh keys they use to access git repos, to also encrypt/decrypt secrets in the same repo, enabling an offline-first, no-vendor-lock-in, simplified development workflow.

Cottage makes it more convenient by introducing simplified recipients management with verifiable access control, standardising private key location, git hooks based automation, auto gitignore management, sync with provider and devices options, intuitive APIs etc.
