Config

Optional, at ~/.config/lazysecrets/config.yaml (or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/lazysecrets/config.yaml, or --config). Flags override it. Unknown keys are an error, so typos don't go unnoticed. e on the status pane (0) opens it in your editor, as in lazygit (making it if it isn't there yet); changes apply when lazysecrets starts again.

Clipboard

The clipboard is the system clipboard locally and OSC52 over SSH (your terminal must allow OSC52 writes; in tmux, set -g set-clipboard on).

Theme

Colours follow your terminal's 16-colour palette by default. A theme: section overrides roles with hex colours, palette numbers (0-255) or names, plus attributes (bold, italic, underline, reverse, faint). Role names follow lazygit's gui.theme where they mean the same thing:

theme:
  activeBorderColor: ["#ff966c", bold]   # focused pane
  inactiveBorderColor: ["#589ed7"]
  selectedLineBgColor: ["#2d3f76"]       # cursor row background (default: palette 8)
  inactiveViewSelectedLineBgColor: ["#2f334d"] # in the other panes (default: palette 8, not bold)
  defaultFgColor: ["#c8d3f5"]
  optionsTextColor: ["#82aaff"]          # keys and labels
  searchMatchColor: ["#ffc777", bold]
  errorColor: ["#c53b53"]                # ✗ failures
  noticeColor: ["#c3e88d"]
  successColor: ["#c3e88d", bold]        # the ✓ before confirmations
  warningColor: ["#ffc777"]              # ⚠ what can't be done here
  mutedColor: ["#636da6"]
  favouriteColor: ["#ffc777"]
  valueColor: ["#ffc777"]
  azureColor: ["#82aaff"]
  databricksColor: ["#ff757f"]
  repoColor: ["#c099ff"]

Icons need a Nerd Font (v3+). If they render as boxes, turn them off with icons: false.

Layering

Several config files can be layered, later ones winning (theme roles and keybindings merge one by one), with a comma-separated --config or LAZYSECRETS_CONFIG_FILE, like lazygit's LG_CONFIG_FILE. An editor plugin can so add a generated theme file to your own config, the way snacks.nvim themes lazygit from Neovim's highlight groups:

LAZYSECRETS_CONFIG_FILE=~/.config/lazysecrets/config.yaml,~/.cache/nvim/lazysecrets-theme.yml lazysecrets

State

Stars, notes, usage and the layout are kept in ~/.local/state/lazysecrets/state.json ($XDG_STATE_HOME), readable only by you: one record per source, vault or secret, keyed by its lazysecrets:// link, never with values. A star belongs to the account you starred the item under (a vault two of your accounts can see can be starred for one); a note describes the item, so it shows under every account. It's JSON so an editor plugin can read it with a built-in parser; several lazysecrets windows can save to it without losing each other's changes.

Revealing, copying, opening in the browser, sharing and jumping to an item count as using it: its record keeps when it was last used and how often, for Recent (R). Records kept only for usage are dropped after 90 days unused, and beyond the 100 most recent. history: false stops counting.

It also keeps where you left lazysecrets in each folder (the selected source, vault or secret), and goes back there the next time it starts in that folder, unless it was started on a link.

Cache

What lazysecrets has loaded is kept in ~/.cache/lazysecrets/cache.json ($XDG_CACHE_HOME), readable only by you: the Sources lists, vaults and scopes, and secrets' names and metadata (tags, dates, references), never values. On the next start they show at once, and anything older than two minutes reloads in the background when you go to it, or when Go to searches it. While it does, the pane's bottom border says how old what it shows is (cached 3h ago). Revealing and copying always fetch the value live.

Lists not loaded for 30 days are dropped, and so is everything from an account you're no longer signed in to. Repos aren't cached: their files are read from disk anyway. Deleting the file is always safe, and cache: false stops using it.

Updates

Once a day (updateCheck), in the background, lazysecrets asks for the latest release; within the day it reuses the answer from the state file. Releases are published on GitHub and on git.kebcloud.no, and it asks them in that order, the next when one doesn't answer within 5 seconds; releases lists others, such as a mirror of your own. Offline, or with every server down, it says nothing. A newer release shows in the footer, v0.1.1 ↑ v0.2.0; U (or lazysecrets update --check) shows its changelog.

Updating (u there, or lazysecrets update) downloads the release for your OS and CPU from the first server that has it, checks it against that server's checksums.txt, makes sure it runs, and only then replaces the binary, atomically: a lazysecrets that's running keeps working, and the next start is the new version. A binary a package manager owns (Homebrew, Nix, a distro package) is left to it. Development builds (dev-…) aren't offered releases.
