About:
Envio is a modern CLI tool designed for securely managing environment variables across different projects. It provides robust encryption using GPG to protect sensitive data like API keys and credentials. The tool simplifies the workflow for developers by offering easy switching between variable sets and environments.
Key Features:
  • GPG-based encryption for secure storage
  • Environment profiles and variable sets
  • Seamless integration with shell environments
  • Cross-platform compatibility
Use Cases:
  • Managing API keys and credentials for local development
  • Switching configuration between staging and production environments
  • Securely sharing environment variables within development teams
Alternatives:
  • direnv – Envio focuses on GPG encryption and explicit profile management, whereas direnv loads/unloads variables automatically based on directory changes.
  • dotenv – Envio provides encryption and a structured CLI workflow, while dotenv relies on unencrypted .env files and library loading.
