Getting Started with Databag

You can start using Databag by importing it to your project. Here is an example of how to use Databag to store a configuration file:

import databag

# create a new databag instance
bag = databag.Bag('myconfigfile')

# add configuration details
bag['key1'] = 'value1'
bag['key2'] = 'value2'

# write the databag to an encrypted file
bag.write('/path/to/encrypted/myconfigfile')

In the example above, we first create a new Databag instance called myconfigfile. We then add two configuration keys with their values using the indexing operator []. Lastly, we write the databag to an encrypted file in the specified location.
