Lets say we want to use the secrets function from the devops package. This secrets function allows us to store and recall GPG encrypted API keys, so pretty useful functionality for a script. But since this is a script, it wouldn’t automatically load all of the profiles and nor would we want it to.

So we could prepend the following to our script:

source module:devops/secret
