Store API keys once, reference them from every Pad.
Secrets are encrypted values stored in Pad. Reference them from any Padfile instead of committing plaintext credentials to your repo.
pad secrets set STRIPE_SECRET_KEY sk_live_...Secrets are scoped to your organization by default. Scope them to a specific project or to your user with --scope:
pad secrets set MY_TOKEN value --scope user
In [env.vars], use the { secret = "NAME" } form:
[env.vars]
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY = { secret = "STRIPE_SECRET_KEY" }
DATABASE_URL = { secret = "DATABASE_URL" }The Pad receives the resolved value as an environment variable at runtime.
Write secrets into a .env file inside the Pad:
[[env.files]]
path = "workspaces/my-app/.env.local"
[env.files.vars]
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY = { secret = "STRIPE_SECRET_KEY" }pad secrets list
pad secrets delete STRIPE_SECRET_KEYPass --scope and --project-id when operating on non-organization secrets.
