Shhh is a simple command-line tool that helps you securely store your secrets, such as API keys, passwords, or tokens. If you're using NixOS Latest, here's how you can install Shhh from its GitHub repository.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
In order to clone the Shhh repository from GitHub, you'll need to have Git installed on your machine. To install Git, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo nix-env -iA nixos.git
This will download and install Git on your machine.
Now that you have Git installed, you can clone the Shhh repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/smallwat3r/shhh.git
This will create a local copy of the Shhh repository in your current working directory.
With the Shhh repository downloaded, you can now build and install the tool on your machine. To do this, navigate to the Shhh directory and run the following command:
nix-env -if .
This will build and install Shhh on your machine.
To confirm that Shhh has been installed correctly, run the following command in your terminal:
shhh --version
This should output the current version of Shhh installed on your machine.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Shhh on your NixOS Latest machine! You can now use this command-line tool to securely store your secrets.
