Managing Secret Data in Open source Applications

If you're working on an open source project, committing API keys or secrets to your repo is a big no-no. You wouldn't want anyone else making request with your keys, right?

So instead of putting those keys in app/config/initializers set then as environment variables in your shell. Here's an example for a Facebook API key:

export FB_API_KEY=3629346238763284623874623

##Getting started

Fork this gist
Clone your forked copy onto your local machine
Open the files in your text editor
$ ruby tests.rb

##Procedure

Part of this is a response and part of it a challenge. If you are only interested in the challenge clone the repo and run rake (more detailed instructions here).
