About:
Vsh is an interactive shell designed for navigating and managing HashiCorp Vault secrets as if they were a local filesystem. It provides a familiar command-line experience with commands like cd, ls, and cat, abstracting the Vault API for easier exploration and manipulation. This tool significantly simplifies complex secret management tasks for DevOps and security engineers.
Key Features:
  • Filesystem-like navigation of Vault secrets
  • Interactive shell with tab completion
  • Support for multiple Vault backends
  • Simplified secret read/write operations
Use Cases:
  • Exploring deep secret hierarchies in Vault
  • Quickly inspecting or updating secrets without complex API calls
  • Auditing secret structures across different environments
Alternatives:
  • vault-cli – Vsh offers an interactive, navigational interface, whereas vault-cli is primarily for single-shot commands.
  • lpass – Vsh is specifically built for HashiCorp Vault, while LastPass CLI targets a different password manager ecosystem.
