single command.

"I love how easy it is to get started in a snap. I'm using it to sync between my
pc and laptop."

environments. Open an environment to view and edit its environment variables.

INTEGRATES EVERYWHERE

Integrates everywhere you already write, test, build, and deploy your code.
Generate your encrypted .env.vault file, commit that safely to code, and deploy.
There's nothing else like it.

within 5 minutes. Having each cli command tell me the next step was super
helpful."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why choose dotenv-vault over other secrets managers?

dotenv-vault is the only secrets manager that works with .env files instead of
against them.

How do other secrets managers work?

Other secrets managers make you replace your environment variables with remote
API calls. This means you must rewrite your code, lock yourself into proprietary
software, and possibly introduce new attack vectors to your software (It's
generally easier for attackers to intercept your web traffic than to gain access
to your file system.)

Are my secrets safe using dotenv-vault?

Your secrets go through a ten-step process to split their parts, encrypt those
parts, and tokenize them into your project's vault. This includes using AES-GCM
encryption - trusted by governments to transport top secret information. Read
more about the ten-step process on the security page.

How does the .env.vault file work?

The .env.vault file is an encrypted version of your .env file. It is paired with
a decryption key called the DOTENV_KEY. The DOTENV_KEY is set on your server or
cloud hosting provider and the .env.vault file is committed to code.

Is it safe to commit the .env.vault file to code?

Yes. AES-256 GCM encryption was developed for the needs of US Government
agencies like the CIA. AES-256 takes billions of years to crack using current
computing technology. Your secrets are much more likely to be leaked by a
third-party. This is why we are so committed to this technology while everyone
else is focused on syncing secrets to third-party integrations. We see a better
way.

How does it protect me from third-party breaches like CircleCI?

In the CircleCI breach the attacker accessed environment variables only. They
could not access codebases. To steal your .env.vault secrets, an attacker needs
need both – the decryption key (stored as an environment variable), AND the
encrypted .env.vault file.

Is the .env.vault file format a new standard?

Not officially, but our goal is towards that. We're building things in a way
that a cloud service is not necessary. As long as you can generate a .env.vault
file you can use the technology. It is open to all.

What languages are supported?

The .env.vault file and its encryption algorithm is language-agnostic so
technically it works with any language. We've built convenience libraries for it
in a handful of languages and are adding more as requested. See the docs for a
complete list.

How do I install dotenv-vault?

See the install page. You can use npx, brew, and more.
