go get github.com/99designs/keyring
The short version of how to use keyring is shown below.
ring, _ := keyring.Open("example", keyring.KeychainBackend)
_ = ring.Set(keyring.Item{
Key: "foo",
Data: []byte("secret-bar"),
})
i, _ := ring.Get("foo")
fmt.Printf("%s", i.Data)For more detail on the API please check the keyring godocs
Contributions to the keyring package are most welcome from engineers of all backgrounds and skill levels. In particular the addition of extra backends across popular operating systems would be appreciated.
This project will adhere to the Go Community Code of Conduct in the github provided discussion spaces, with the moderators being the 99designs engineering leadership team, currently lead by John Barton.
