About

User Secrets are a great tool to manage sensitive configuration options while minimising the risk of accidentally committing them to version control, but the dotnet user-secrets command can be unintuitive and slow to use.

This tool is inspired by the Visual Studio secrets editor, which allows you to edit the underlying secrets file (~/.microsoft/usersecrets/<GUID>/secrets.json) directly, but only using its native "flattened json" format, and only for project types supported by the Connected Services feature.

This tool makes the experience far more intuitive by presenting the data in more sensible formats, such as nested JSON or YAML.

Additionally, it extends compatibility to all major editors - just set $EDITOR or pass --editor|-e. Here it is working with Neovim:
