Securely share your environment files through password managers.
Confidante is a wrapper around your favourite passoword manager's CLI and uses secure notes to store your local environment files remotely.
If you work in a small team, you can use Confidante as a source of truth to easily share you local secrets with your colleagues.
npx confidante --helpor if you need to update to the latest version
npx confidante@latest --helpnpx confidante push [FILEPATH] [ENTRYNAME] [-a <adapter>] [-v <vault>]For all available arguments and flags type
npx confidante push --help
npx confidante pull [FILEPATH] [ENTRYNAME] [-a <adapter>] [-v <vault>]For all available arguments and flags type
npx confidante pull --help
Adapters are used to create a standardized interface between Confidante and password managers.
Available adapters:
- 1Password: To use this adapter, you need to install the 1Password CLI and setup either Manual login or Biometric unlock
Adapters on the roadmap:
- LastPass
- Bitwarden
- Dashlane
If you wish to use Confidante with a password manager not mentioned in the list, feel free to open an issue!
You can use a configuration file to omit command arguments.
Create a file named .confidante.json at the root of your project and add the following content:
{
"adapter": "<adapter name>",
"vault": "<vault name>",
"filePath": "<file path of your environment, eg: .env>",
"entryName": "<name of the entry in the password manager>"
}You can also automatically generate the file when running the pull command with the -s or --save flag.
Then your commands will be as simple as
npx confidante push
npx confidante pullPush a .env file to the password manager
npx confidante push .env "Local .env" -a 1password -v "My project"Push a Rails application.yml to the password manager
npx confidante push config/application.yml "Rails application.yml" -a 1password -v "My project"
