| Best use | Ideal for a developer or small platform team that wants encrypted configuration beside code with readable Git diffs. Use it for YAML, JSON, ENV and INI files and tightly scoped CI or runtime access. It is not a replacement for dynamic secret issuance or source-system credential rotation. | Best for an individual developer or small team that wants a local pre-commit secret scan plus a second CI gate. It is especially useful around deployment configuration and environment files. It does not replace a secret manager or credential revocation after a leak. | Best for a solo developer or small team that works from the terminal and wants focused, reviewable commits. It helps select changes and open another branch in a separate working folder. It does not replace tests or Git knowledge; your editor interface may already be enough. |
