SecureEnv CLI

SecureEnv CLI is a command-line tool designed to securely manage environment variables across different environments. It offers features for encrypting, decrypting, and managing environment variables, ensuring sensitive data is protected and environment-specific.

Features

• Switch Environment: Easily switch between different environment files (e.g., .env.development, .env.production).
• Encrypt: Securely encrypt the currently active environment variables.
• Decrypt: Decrypt environment variables from the currently active environment file.
• Set: Add new environment variables to your .env file.
• Get: Retrieve the value of specific environment variables.

Installation

Install globally using npm:

npm install -g secureenv-cli

Usage Flow

1. Switch Environment

Before encrypting or decrypting, ensure that you switch to the correct environment. This command updates the active environment and prepares it for encryption or decryption.

secureenv-cli switch <env>

• Example:

  secureenv-cli switch development

This sets the active environment to development, so any subsequent encryption or decryption will apply to .env.development.

2. Encrypt Environment Variables

Encrypts the currently active environment file, such as .env.development, and creates an encrypted file named .env.development.enc.

secureenv-cli encrypt

3. Decrypt Environment Variables

Decrypts the environment file based on the active environment and restores the .env.<environment> file.

secureenv-cli decrypt

4. Set Environment Variable

Adds a new environment variable to the active .env file.

secureenv-cli set <key> <value>

• Example:

  secureenv-cli set API_KEY "newapikey123"

5. Get Environment Variable

Retrieves the value of a specified environment variable from the active .env file.

secureenv-cli get <key>

• Example:

  secureenv-cli get API_KEY

Configuration

The following configurations are defined in config.js:

• SUPPORTED_ENVS: List of supported environments (e.g., ['development', 'production', 'staging']).
• DEFAULT_ENV_FILE: Default environment file (e.g., .env).
• ENCRYPTED_ENV_FILE_EXT: File extension for encrypted environment files (e.g., .enc).
