secretscli-py 1.0.1

SecretsCLI is a lightweight command-line interface tool for securely managing and retrieving your secrets across devices. With an intuitive login system, it ensures your sensitive information such as API keys, passwords, and other private data remains protected while being easily accessible from any environment. Designed for simplicity and security, SecretsCLI allows seamless integration with your development workflow.

SecretsCLI

Secure, simple secrets management for developers

Stop sharing .env files over Slack.

The Problem

We've all been there:

• "Hey, can you send me the database credentials?"
• "Which .env file is the latest one?"
• "I just set up a new laptop and now I need to ask everyone for secrets again"

Sharing secrets through Slack, email, or sticky notes is a mess. It's insecure, hard to track, and honestly just annoying.

What SecretsCLI Does

It's simple: one command to pull all your secrets, anywhere.

pip install secretscli-py
secretscli login
secretscli project use my-app
secretscli secrets pull

That's it. Your .env file is ready. No asking around. No digging through old messages.

How It Works

1. You store secrets once - encrypted, in the cloud
2. Your team pulls them anywhere - new laptop, CI/CD, staging server
3. Server never sees plaintext - zero-knowledge encryption

No more "which version is correct?" - there's one source of truth.

Getting Started

First Time Setup

New to SecretsCLI? Here's how to get started:

pip install secretscli-py

# Create your account
secretscli init

# Create a project for your app
secretscli project create my-app

# Add your secrets
secretscli secrets set DATABASE_URL=postgresql://... API_KEY=sk_live_...

# Or if you already have a .env file, just push it
secretscli secrets push

Setting Up a New Machine

Already have an account? Just pull your secrets:

pip install secretscli-py
secretscli login

# Connect to your project
secretscli project use my-app

# Pull all secrets
secretscli secrets pull
# Done - your .env is ready

Creating a Project in a Specific Workspace

Want to create a project in a team workspace instead of your personal one?

# See all your workspaces
secretscli workspace list

# Switch to the workspace you want
secretscli workspace switch "Backend Team"

# Now create your project - it goes into the selected workspace
secretscli project create api-service

Team Collaboration

Got a team? Here's how to share secrets securely:

# Create a team workspace
secretscli workspace create "Backend Team"

# Invite your teammates
secretscli workspace invite [e-mail]
secretscli workspace invite [e-mail]

# Create a shared project
secretscli project create shared-api

# Your teammates just need to:
pip install secretscli-py
secretscli login
secretscli project use shared-api
secretscli secrets pull
# They now have all the secrets

Everyone in the workspace gets the same secrets. When you update something, they get it on their next pull.

Security (the boring-but-important part)

• Zero-knowledge - API never sees your plaintext secrets
• End-to-end encryption - X25519 + Fernet (industry standard)
• Your keys, your control - stored in your system keychain

We can't read your secrets even if we wanted to.
