Build CLI for de/encryption and validation

Currently, configs are used in a way that strongConfig.load() is called which returns a decrypted config object.

For a broader range of use-cases, incl. CI, we want to provide a CLI interface that allows encryption and decryption of files.

Commands to consider:

  • strong-config decrypt [--all] [<path-to-file>] [<environment>]
  • strong-config encrypt [--all] [<path-to-file>] [<environment>]
  • strong-config validate [--all] [<path-to-file>] [<environment>]

In these commands, exactly one of the arguments must be present to form a valid command.

More thoughts:

  • Different output formats could be useful as well: --output/-o yaml/json/ OR --in-place.
  • Extraneous arguments should be forwarded to the sops binary

just a process comment. this issue doesn't really involve this repo. for these more general high-level ideas/tickets, i'd suggest to use the org-level project board. there is in fact already a card for this: https://github.com/orgs/strong-config/projects/1#card-24634933

the cards aren't as powerful as issues in terms of commenting. so we could also just go ahead and create a https://github.com/strong-config/cli repo and start discussing there in a new issue what this should look like.

I thought of it more as a strong-config/node thing. But fair point, in the light of a /cli project, we can move this

I've created https://github.com/strong-config/cli/issues/1 now as a temporary umbrella ticket for the CLI project. Let's close this and move discussions over there.
