I was tired of copying .env files between machines, so we built a CLI

If you’ve ever:

  • set up a new laptop and lost your env vars
  • copied .env files around
  • shared secrets over WhatsApp or Slack 😅

Yeah… same problem.

At The Seventeen, we built SecretsCLI to fix this with the simplest possible workflow.

pip install secretscli-py
secretscli login
secretscli project use my-app
secretscli secrets pull
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

That’s it.
Your .env file is ready — securely.

SecretsCLI works great for:

  • solo developers using multiple machines
  • quick setup on a fresh dev environment
  • sharing secrets securely when collaborating
  • keeping secrets out of Git.

It’s end-to-end encrypted, open source, and CLI-first.

It’s still early: feedback, installs, stars ⭐ and PRs are very welcome.
