I built a local secret management tool with Git-like workflows after almost committing production credentials one too many times.
Most secret management solutions are either: - Cloud-based (overkill for local dev) - GUI-heavy password managers (not dev-friendly) - Enterprise tools requiring infrastructure (Vault, etc.)
This is intentionally simple: version-controlled secrets with familiar Git semantics, running entirely on your machine.
Features: - Offline-first - Simple CLI - Encrypted storage - No cloud dependencies - Python API

Happy to answer questions about the architecture, encryption approach, or why I thought building this at 2 AM was a good idea.
