Not sure why this change happened.

Go doesn't allow you to declare variables and then not use them. That is why you are getting the error. |
Yes, I understand that. What I don't know is where/how to use them. In other words, it's not used because I don't know how to turn YAML into variables, nor where I should be doing that. |

This is still very much a work in progress. I'm attempting to help resolve #517 by creating a single file to store API keys (as discussed here), which can then be excluded from config backup and management systems like RCM and the like.
A solution like this seems better to me than loading these keys as environment variables in the shell, where they could be read in memory by other programs.
I've made the default file and added it to the config, and now my build tests return:
This is where my limited knowledge of Go ends. What I do not yet know how to do is take the contents of the secrets file and load them as environment variables. Anyone who wants to contribute to this branch is welcome to do so. Likewise, any documentation of tutorials you think would be useful in finishing this would be much appreciated.
