Yeah, you ou can now use Envault to sync any .env file, with our new NPX CLI. Laravel, October CMS, Symfony, Ruby on Rails, JavaScript... you name it, if it uses a .env file, we can handle it. No extra installation is required, only Node.js on your computer.

Hey there!

I'm the co-founder and CEO of Infisical; we're working on a simple, end-to-end encrypted solution to sync .env files — it takes 3 minutes to set up and enables devs to automatically pull and inject environment variables into their local processes by changing their start/dev scripts.

It also supports push/pull commands if you wish to keep using .env files :)

Check it out!
