The CLI for secure secret sharing that teams actually use

npm i -g envshareapp

npx envshareapp upload .env

docker run -p 3000:3000 yocyber/envshareapp

Required tools

• Node.js (recommended ≥ 16)
• npm / npx (bundled with Node.js)
• Docker (for self-hosting)
• git (optional, for development)

Environment variables

Set these when running the CLI in production or pointing to a custom instance.

export ENVSHARE_API_KEY="env_your_key_here" export ENVSHARE_API_URL="https://envshare.app/api/secrets" export ENVSHARE_BASE_URL="https://envshare.app"

$Env:ENVSHARE_API_KEY = 'env_your_key_here' $Env:ENVSHARE_API_URL = 'https://envshare.app/api/secrets' $Env:ENVSHARE_BASE_URL = 'https://envshare.app'

Pipe a secret (one-time link)

echo "MY_SUPER_SECRET" | npx envshareapp upload --expires 1 --views 1

Common for sharing tokens or keys quickly. The CLI outputs a share URL and copies it to your clipboard.

Upload a file (Pro / Team)

envshareapp upload credentials.json --expires 24 --views 3

Binary/file attachments require a paid plan. The CLI detects non-text uploads and will prompt to upgrade if needed.

Password-protect a secret (Pro)

envshareapp upload .env --password "S3cretPass"

The recipient must enter the password to decrypt the secret locally.

CI example (GitHub Actions)

# .github/workflows/share.yml
env:
  ENVSHARE_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.ENVSHARE_API_KEY }}
steps:
  - run: npx envshareapp upload ./build/credentials.json --expires 24 --views 1

Use repository secrets to keep your API key safe.
