# Evaluation time secrets Some secrets cannot be left in cleartext (e.g time zone, user's real names), but are required at evaluation time, and in some cases using sops-nix's template is really inconvenient. To handle this, __currently__ i use strange approach: I manually encrypt files with sops, commit them and manually decrypt. [git-agecrypt](https://github.com/vlaci/git-agecrypt) wasn't suitable for me. In future, i will replace it with my own implementation of transparent git encryption based on sops. Also, this used only for secrets which may be safely left in world-readable store. For more sensitive secrets I use `sops-nix`, which decrypts secrets only at runtime.
