Keyring

=======

[![Build Status](https://github.com/99designs/keyring/workflows/Continuous%20Integration/badge.svg)](https://github.com/99designs/keyring/actions)

[![Documentation](https://godoc.org/github.com/99designs/keyring?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/github.com/99designs/keyring)

Keyring provides a common interface to a range of secure credential storage services. Originally developed as part of [AWS Vault](https://github.com/99designs/aws-vault), a command line tool for securely managing AWS access from developer workstations.

Currently Keyring supports the following backends

 * [macOS Keychain](https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/keychain-access/welcome/mac)

 * [Windows Credential Manager](https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/4026814/windows-accessing-credential-manager)

 * Secret Service ([Gnome Keyring](https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeKeyring), [KWallet](https://kde.org/applications/system/org.kde.kwalletmanager5))

 * [KWallet](https://kde.org/applications/system/org.kde.kwalletmanager5)

 * [Pass](https://www.passwordstore.org/)

 * [Encrypted file (JWT)](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7519)

 * [KeyCtl](https://linux.die.net/man/1/keyctl)

## Usage

The short version of how to use keyring is shown below.

```go

ring, _ := keyring.Open(keyring.Config{

  ServiceName: "example",

})

_ = 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](https://godoc.org/github.com/99designs/keyring)

## Testing

[Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/) is used to create linux and windows test environments.

```bash

# Start vagrant

vagrant up

# Run go tests on all platforms

./bin/go-test

```
