envy

Use envy to manage sensitive environment variables when running commands.

Project Overview

github.com/shoenig/envy provides a CLI utility for running commands with secret environment variables like GITHUB_TOKEN, etc.

envy builds on ideas from envchain and schain. It makes use of the go-keyring library for multi-platform keyring management. Encryption is based on Go's built-in crypto/aes library. Persistent storage is managed through boltdb.

Supports Linux, macOS, and Windows
