Currently, my ~/.arcrc file holds both the secret token obtained via "arc install-certificate" and user config like aliases.
I would like to keep the custom config (aliases, etc.) in a dotfiles.git repository, storing all my .gitconfig, .zshrc, etc.
Proposition:
1- ~/.arccredentials holds tokens, requires 600 permissions.
2- ~/.arcrc holds user config that is not secret. No specific permissions requirements.
In would be convenient, but note you could have a more generic problem here: how to store all your credentials. Solutions like Vault could help in this case.
Why don't you create a Makefile to regerate your .arcrc from both sources?
It could also be considered best practice to renew certificates when you change machine, need to regenerate the config and can't simply copy the former one.
Seems convoluted to recreate the ~/.arcrc each time I change the template. Moreover, when the config is modified directly by arc (arc alias for example), it will modify the generated ~/.arcrc. So I'd have to (remember to) copy these additions back to the template.
Thanks for the pointer to Vault, looks interesting!
