EnvVault 🔐

A simple, secure environment variable manager for developers.

The Problem

You have .env files everywhere. Different projects, different teams, different servers. Managing them is a nightmare:

• .env files get committed to git by accident
• Sharing env vars with teammates means insecure DMs or Slack messages
• Switching between dev/staging/production configs is manual and error-prone
• No easy way to see what vars you're missing

The Solution

EnvVault is a CLI tool that:

• Encrypts and stores your .env files locally
• Syncs encrypted env vars with teammates via GitHub
• Auto-detects missing variables in your projects
• Generates .env.example files automatically
• Switches between environments (dev/staging/prod) with one command

Quick Start

npm install -g envvault
envvault init
envvault add MY_API_KEY=sk-abc123
envvault sync

Features

• 🔒 AES-256 encryption — your secrets never leave your machine unencrypted
• 👥 Team sync — share env vars securely via GitHub repos
• 🔍 Auto-detect — finds missing vars in your code
• 📝 Example generator — creates .env.example from your actual env
• 🔄 Environment switching — dev/staging/prod with one command
• 🚫 Git hook — prevents accidental .env commits

Install

npm install -g envvault
