I could be wrong; I had originally started using "external-secrets" then I believe found about "secret-manager" from the Godaddy repository.

I've used both solutions, and ultimately, I think itscontained/secret-manager is better than external-secrets.

Their doc was re-jiggled a few days ago and I agree its made it look like it's inexistant. There's not a _ton_ of it, but it's there[0][1]

edit: found the link in the Godaddy repo to "secret-manager": https://github.com/godaddy/kubernetes-external-secrets/issue...

I was mistaken when I said "secret-manager supplanted external-secrets". It's a Golang rewrite from a user.

Yeah, we should probably include in Github readme, but the itscontained/secret-manager is an implementation of the standardization that a few of us have been working on in https://github.com/godaddy/kubernetes-external-secrets/pull/....

There has been talks of moving one of these solutions to https://github.com/external-secrets ownership, but nothing has happened around that yet.

Indeed is not supplanted, it is just another solution. Speaking of which, I would like to put our solution on your radar as well: https://github.com/ContainerSolutions/externalsecret-operato...
Oh, I see!
