About:
Envelope is a command-line interface tool designed for managing environment variables across different projects. It allows developers to easily switch between variable configurations, promoting a cleaner and more organized workflow. The tool helps avoid common pitfalls like hardcoding secrets or managing multiple .env files.
Key Features:
  • Simple CLI for managing environment profiles
  • Supports switching between multiple configurations
  • Helps keep secrets out of version control
  • Lightweight and fast
Use Cases:
  • Managing different environment configurations for local, staging, and production
  • Quickly switching API keys and credentials between projects
Alternatives:
  • direnv – direnv loads/unloads environment variables automatically based on directory, while envelope uses explicit commands to switch profiles.
  • dotenv – dotenv is typically a library for loading .env files, whereas envelope is a dedicated CLI tool for managing multiple named profiles.
