CLI to load enviroments securely

CLI in TypeScript to list environment variables defined in ~/.config/loadenvs/variables.yaml.

Usage:

Default path: ~/.config/loadenvs/variables.yaml

Example:

# ~/.config/loadenvs/variables.yaml
NODE_ENV: development
API_URL: https://api.example.com
LOG_LEVEL: info
PORT: 8080
SECRET: 'value with spaces and symbols !@#'

Values are read as strings (or number/boolean if appropriate) and printed with the chosen format.

Usage

loadenvvars --help

Options

• --format table|dotenv|export|json Output format (default table).
• --file <path> Alternative YAML path.
• --only <key...> Filter by specific keys.
• --keys Only show variable names.

Examples

• Show in table (default):

loadenvvars

• Generate a .env:

loadenvvars --format dotenv > .env

• Export for the current shell session:

eval "$(loadenvvars --format export)"

• Filter by specific keys:

loadenvvars --only API_URL PORT --format json

Important note

A child process (this CLI) cannot modify the variables of the parent process (your shell). To “load” the variables in your session, use eval with --format export as shown above, or redirect to a .env file that your tool consumes.
