Brian Majewski 585367b9a6 Add support for package.json workspaces in secrets CLI
- Introduced `--workspaces` flag for `push` and `pull` commands to handle environment files in monorepos.
- Updated README and CLAUDE.md to reflect new workspace functionality and installation instructions.
- Enhanced test suite with cases for workspace operations, ensuring proper encryption and decryption of environment files.
- Improved error handling for missing package.json and workspaces field.
- Increased test coverage from 20 to 25 tests.

# secrets
Encrypted env file sync between machines using `age` key-file encryption + a private git repo.
## Quick Start
```bash
brew install age
./secrets init # Create ~/.secrets repo + generate age key
cd ~/my-project && ./secrets push # Encrypt .env* files, commit, push
# On other machine:
cd ~/my-project && ./secrets pull # Pull + decrypt .env* files
```
## Testing
```bash
brew install bats-core
bats test/secrets.bats
```
## Architecture
Single bash script (`secrets`) with subcommands: init, push, pull, list, rm, rekey.
- Encryption: `age` with key files (not passphrases — age passphrases are non-scriptable)
- Storage: Private git repo at `~/.secrets/`
- Convention: Globs `.env` and `.env.*` (not `.envrc`, `.environment-*`)
- Workspaces: `--workspaces` flag reads `package.json` workspaces, requires `jq`
- Safety: Pre-commit hook rejects plaintext `.env` files
## Project Structure
```
secrets # CLI script (~300 lines bash)
hooks/pre-commit # Pre-commit hook template
test/
secrets.bats # bats-core test suite (25 tests)
test_helper.bash # Shared setup/teardown
README.md # User-facing documentation
CLAUDE.md # This file
```
## Key file
`~/.secrets/key.txt` is the age identity (private key). It is gitignored and must be copied manually to each machine once.
## Environment variable
`SECRETS_DIR` overrides the default `~/.secrets` location (useful for testing).
