Integration with encrypted Rails credentials

[smith]

Rails 4.1 introduces a built-in convention for having a secrets.yml with secrets in it: http://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/4_1_release_notes.html#config-secrets-yml

It would be cool if this gem did some of these things:

• Aliased Rails.application.secrets to Settings.secrets
• Shimmed the secrets.yml functionality in for Rails < 4.1
• Allowed you to have a secrets.local.yml or config/secrets/production.yml that behave the same way as the existing conventions do for non-secrets files

I think this gem is a better overall solution to managing configuration, but if Rails is making this a thing, it would make sense to go along with it and make this gem work nicely with the new stuff.

Will be great

@rdubya would you like to have a look at this one?

Rails 5 gets away from using secrets and now has a credentials file. It would be cool to have similar functionality built into this gem since it provides a much more flexible way of managing environment settings.

I think we could add alias Rails.application.secrets to Settings.secrets if anybody is interested in this. However, I would keep the way secrets.yml work meaning with environments groups.

@smith @Darkside73 are you still interested in this?
