+=== Storing Encrypted Secrets in Source Control
+
+The Rails `secrets` commands helps encrypting secrets to slim a production
+environment's `ENV` hash. It's also useful for atomic deploys: no need to
+coordinate key changes to get everything working as the keys are shipped
+with the code.
+
+=== Setup
+
+Run `bin/rails secrets:setup` to opt in and generate the `config/secrets.yml.key`
+and `config/secrets.yml.enc` files.
+
+The latter contains all the keys to be encrypted while the former holds the
+encryption key.
+
+Don't lose the key! Put it in a password manager your team can access.
+Should you lose it no one, including you, will be able to access any encrypted
+secrets.
+Don't commit the key! Add `config/secrets.yml.key` to your source control's
+ignore file. If you use Git, Rails handles this for you.
+
+Rails also looks for the key in `ENV["RAILS_MASTER_KEY"]` if that's easier to
+manage.
+
+You could prepend that to your server's start command like this:
+
+   RAILS_MASTER_KEY="im-the-master-now-hahaha" server.start
+
+
+The `config/secrets.yml.enc` has much the same format as `config/secrets.yml`:
+
+   production:
+     secret_key_base: so-secret-very-hidden-wow
+     payment_processing_gateway_key: much-safe-very-gaedwey-wow
+
+But that's where the similarities between `secrets.yml` and `secrets.yml.enc`
+end, e.g. no keys from `secrets.yml` will be moved to `secrets.yml.enc` and
+be encrypted.
+
+A `shared:` top level key is also supported such that any keys there is merged
+into the other environments.
+
+=== Editing Secrets
+
+After `bin/rails secrets:setup`, run `bin/rails secrets:edit`.
+
+That command opens a temporary file in `$EDITOR` with the decrypted contents of
+`config/secrets.yml.enc` to edit the encrypted secrets.
+
+When the temporary file is next saved the contents are encrypted and written to
+`config/secrets.yml.enc` while the file itself is destroyed to prevent secrets
+from leaking.
