Let’s dive into 1Password Developer Tools
1Password Developer Tools is a suite of capabilities that streamlines and secures your workflows across the entire software development life cycle. That includes:

• 1Password for SSH and Git. Generate and securely store modern keys, authorize SSH connections with TouchID, Windows Hello or Linux system-auth.
• Git commit signing. Get that ‘verified’ badge on your GitHub commits with built-in support for SSH key-powered Git commit signing.
• 1Password for VS Code. The best defense against secrets leaking from your code is not adding them to your code in the first place. Secret references do just that, replacing actual secrets with references to their location in 1Password. 1Password for VS Code brings that functionality to your favorite editor.
• 1Password CLI. 1Password CLI allows you to automate administrative tasks, securely provision secrets across development environments, and use biometrics to authenticate in the terminal.
• Service accounts. Built for teams, service accounts offer a secure way to automate infrastructure secrets in development and deployment workflows. Service accounts work with the CLI to allow programmatic access to 1Password, support custom access scopes, and are not tied to an individual user.
• Shell Plugins. Easily configure 1Password to securely authenticate third-party CLIs with your fingerprint, Apple Watch, or system authentication. 14 of the current shell plugins were built by the developer community via the open source project… and you can write your own in about ten minutes.
• Use CI/CD integrations to securely access secrets stored in 1Password inside your tool’s configuration.
