Usage

netrc::default

The default recipe will install the netrc gem as well as include
the Chef Vault and Chef Sugar cookbooks. If the
node['netrc']['users'] attribute has been set it will use the LWRP
to create a netrc file for the specified user.

Data Bag

{
    "id": "jbellone",
    "test": {
        "machines": [
            {
                "host": "github.com",
                "login": "johnbellone",
                "password": "bacon"
            }
        ]
    },
    "beta-us-east-1": {
        "machines": []
    }
    "prod-us-east-1": {
        "machines": []
    }
}

LWRP

The resource provider can be used on its own if you are storing your
secret credentials in a separate data bag. Here's an example of a simple
data bag which stores the username and access token for a GitHub user.

item = chef_vault_item('secrets', 'github')
netrc 'jbellone' do
  host 'github.com'
  login item['username']
  password item['access_token']
end

The bag item for this example would look like:
json
{
"id": "github",
"username": "johnbellone",
"access_token": "bacon"
}
