Jeaye, I totally agree! One really interesting approach to this that I've seen is the 'pass' password manager, which can automatically handle the use of git for passwords. I wonder if it would be feasible to do this for nixos as well, so that beginners (who might not be familiar with git) would automatically be doing "the right" (or at least "a reasonable") thing without needing to learn about it.
