EnviEnvironment File Management

Capture, store, and restore .env files across your projects with ease

Language Agnostic

Works with any programming language when installed globally - Rust, Go, Python, PHP, Java, Ruby, Dart, and more. Not just JS/TS

Capture all .env files from all your codebases into a central location that can be version controlled

Restore environment files on new systems, repo checkouts, or git worktree instances with a single command

Safely share configurations using encrypted blobs. Variable redaction protects personal tokens from being shared

Works with parallel agents using git worktrees - easily restore env files to isolated working directories

Optional GitHub integration to version control your environment configurations

Preserves both comments (full-line and inline) and key order from your .env files

Install Envi globally or as a dev dependency:

bash

# Global installation (recommended)
pnpm add -g @codecompose/envi

# Or as dev dependency
pnpm add -D @codecompose/envi

Capture environment files from your project:

bash

cd /path/to/your/project
envi capture

Restore them later:

bash

envi restore

Centralized Storage - Capture all .env files into a centralized, version-controlled store organized by project name (extracted from package.json, Cargo.toml, go.mod, and other manifest files)
Encrypted Blob Sharing - Share environment configs with team members via encrypted, compressed blobs - works independently of global storage
Monorepo Support - Automatically discovers and captures all .env files across your entire monorepo structure, preserving relative paths
GitHub Integration - Optional automatic version control for your environment configurations
Git Worktree Initialization - For JS/TS projects, simply add envi restore to your setup script to restore env files to each isolated worktree
Content Preservation - Preserves both comments (full-line and inline) and key order from your original files
Variable Redaction - Protect personal tokens and developer-specific credentials from being shared. Configure variables like GITHUB_PAT to be automatically redacted when capturing or packing
100% Test Coverage - Core business logic (encryption, compression, parsing, storage) is fully tested for reliability
Language Agnostic - Install globally to manage .env files for projects in any language - Rust, Go, Python, PHP, Java, Ruby, Dart, and more. Not limited to JS/TS
Human-Readable Format - Stores configurations in MAML format, which guarantees key order preservation
