Wow, that's a terrible security process even for development configs. How about adding a script they can run right after cloning to pull the needed keys from a secure location using their own user credentials? Plenty of solutions out there.
So let’s say the code base leaks.
Let’s say our VPN was also compromised.
Then what is the worst that can happen? Some internal dev api with no real data in it can be tested by hackers.
