⚙️ clienvy — Smart Environment Variable Manager !!

clienvy is a lightweight CLI tool that automatically detects hardcoded secrets, replaces them with environment variables, and generates .env and .env.template files — all with a single command.

It also sets up a Git pre-commit hook to prevent secret leaks by ensuring .env consistency before each commit.

🚀 Features

• 🔍 Scan your code for hardcoded secrets like API keys, Mongo URIs, JWTs, and more.
• 🔁 Replace them with secure process.env.KEY or import.meta.env.KEY.
• 📦 Generate .env and .env.template automatically.
• 🛡️ Pre-commit Git hook to automatically check for exposed secrets, unused variables, or any potential misuse before every commit.

📦 Installation

npm install -g clienvy

verify Installation

clienvy --version

🛠️ Commands

clienvy init

Full setup: extract, replace, generate env files, and install Git hook.

clienvy check

Checks if .env exists and verifies that all keys are present and used correctly.

clienvy extract

Extracts secrets from your code without replacing or generating files.

clienvy replace

Replaces hardcoded secrets in your code with environment variable references.

clienvy generate

Generates .env and .env.template files from extracted secrets.

RoadMap:

Run full setup once:

clienvy init

Later, when you add new secrets:

- clienvy extract
- clienvy generate
- clienvy replace

Use clienv check to verify .env correctness before commits (or rely on the Git hook):

clienvy check

🧠 Why clienvy?

Managing secrets manually is error-prone. clienvy automates the boring and risky parts so you can:

• ✅ Code securely

• 🧼 Keep your codebase clean

• ⛔ Prevent accidental leaks
