Best Practices

HISTIGNORE

You should obviously add pony to your HISTIGNORE for example:

export HISTIGNORE="ls:cd:cd -:pwd:exit:date:* --help:pony:pony *";

Namespacing Keys

You should namespace the keys for your secrets like the following:

$ pony create com.twitter.frazelledazzell.token KJDHJKFHDSBJDF
# GPG Passphrase for key "Jess Frazelle <[email protected]>":

$ pony create com.github.jessfraz.token LKJHSDLFKJDHF
# GPG Passphrase for key "Jess Frazelle <[email protected]>":

# if a key ends with `.recovery`
# we assume it is a list of comma seperated
# strings that are recovery codes
$ pony add [email protected] we0wk4,osdknew,4fd9kw,03jfn23,sduj39s
# GPG Passphrase for key "Jess Frazelle <[email protected]>":

$ pony ls
# GPG Passphrase for key "Jess Frazelle <[email protected]>":

KEY                                     VALUE
com.aws.amazon.prod.key                 KSUIIUEJDMSDBSDJFOFR
com.aws.amazon.prod.secret              skljdUYGjsndhfjjiosjdfgr/HKKSU
com.github.botaccount.recovery          we0wk4,osdknew,4fd9kw,03jfn23,sduj39s
com.github.jessfraz.token               LKJHSDLFKJDHF
com.twitter.frazelledazzell.token       KJDHJKFHDSBJDF

# you can also filter by a regular expression
$ pony ls --filter com.github*
# GPG Passphrase for key "Jess Frazelle <[email protected]>":

KEY                                     VALUE
com.github.botaccount.recovery          we0wk4,osdknew,4fd9kw,03jfn23,sduj39s
com.github.jessfraz.token               LKJHSDLFKJDHF
