The Envault CLI allows you to connect to your Envault server and sync its credentials to your local .env file.
To use the Envault CLI, you must have Node.js installed on your computer.
On your Envault dashboard, you will find an initialization command for each environment, which you can run to establish a connection to your Envault server, and pull your variables. This command only needs to be run the first time you connect your .env to Envault. An example initialization command:
npx envault vault.envault.dev 84632 iCNaGGLou6v0mRas
After you've run your environment initialization command for the first time, you can pull your .env again easily:
npx envault
By default, Envault will not pull variables that are not already present in your .env file. To enable this behaviour, use the --constructive flag:
npx envault --constructive
You are able to customise the name of your .env file using the --filename flag:
npx envault vault.envault.dev 84632 iCNaGGLou6v0mRas --filename=.myenv
The Envault CLI will sometimes prompt you to confirm your actions, especially those made in constructive mode. To bypass these prompts, use the --force flag:
npx envault --force
