minus-square@DoomBot5@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish0•9 months agoWow, that’s a terrible security process even for development configs. How about adding a script they can run right after cloning to pull the needed keys from a secure location using their own user credentials? Plenty of solutions out there.
