Answer 1

You can get key and value using "oc get secret/SECRETNAME -o yaml" simply, but you should decode the value by base64. After you retrieve the key using "oc get -o yaml", the value can decode simply as follows.

oc get secret ashish -n my-project \
   -o go-template --template="{{.data.KEY|base64decode}}"
VALUE

For example,

oc get secret ashish -n my-project \
   -o go-template --template="{{.data.ashish|base64decode}}"
...value...
