Dotty env add

dotty env add¶

Store a credential, or capture a whole .env file.

Synopsis¶

Store a credential under KEY in the namespace. With a terminal attached the value is read from a hidden prompt; when input is piped, the value is read from stdin (a single trailing newline is stripped). The value is never taken from a flag, so it stays out of shell history and the process list.

With --in-file, KEY is omitted and a .env file is captured instead: every KEY=value assignment is stored in the namespace and its value is replaced with a {{ dotty:///KEY }} reference (the inverse of env use). The result is written to --out-file, which defaults to --in-file; replacing an existing file is confirmed first. Blank lines, comments, empty values, and values that are already references are left untouched.

dotty env add [<KEY>] [flags]

Examples¶

  dotty env add --namespace=aws AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
  printf '%s' "$TOKEN" | dotty env add --namespace=ci GITHUB_TOKEN
  dotty env add --namespace=aws --in-file=.env

  -h, --help              help for add
      --in-file string    capture secrets from this .env file instead of a single KEY
      --out-file string   file to write captured references to (default: --in-file)
