azdo-release-env

Interactive CLI that extracts environment variables from a selected Azure DevOps Release pipeline environment and exports them to ./.env or ./env.json.

Disclaimer

This is a personal project and is not officially supported by Microsoft or Azure DevOps. This CLI requires the Azure CLI and Azure DevOps extension to be installed and authenticated. It reads the release definition and environment variables via the Azure DevOps REST API. It does not store or transmit any data outside of your local machine. Use at your own risk.

Requirements

• Node.js
• Azure CLI installed (az)
  • https://learn.microsoft.com/cli/azure/install-azure-cli
• Azure DevOps extension installed
  • az extension add --name azure-devops
• Authenticated to Azure DevOps
  • az devops login
• Azure DevOps defaults (organization and project)
  • If missing, the CLI will prompt and set them via az devops configure -d ....

Install

npm install -g azdo-release-env

Or

npx azdo-release-env

Usage

azdo-release-env

The CLI will prompt you to:

• Select a release pipeline definition
• Choose an export format (.env or JSON)
• Confirm writing to the current directory

Output

• .env export writes ./.env
• JSON export writes ./env.json

Notes

• The CLI prompts you to select an environment from the release definition.
• Variable groups are currently not included (only explicit environment variables).

Troubleshooting

• If az is not installed, install Azure CLI first.
• If you see an authentication error, run az devops login.
