Can you use '<<: *default' in secrets.yml?

Question

In database.yml you can have a default environment and have the other inherit:

development: &default
  adapter: postgresql
  database: dev_development

test: &test
  <<: *default
  database: test_test

production:
  <<: *default
  database: test_production

Can you do this in secrets.yml? Should you?

Answer 1

Yes, you can. It's just the format; you can use it in any YML file.
