The configuration file is created during initialization:
```toml
# Example ~/.envr/config.toml
source = "~/.envr/config.toml"
priv_key = "~/.ssh/id_ed25519"
pub_key = "~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub"
[scan]
matcher = "\.env"
exclude = "*.envrc"
include = "~"
```jsonc
# Example ~/.envr/config.json
{
"keys": [
{
"private": "/home/spencer/.ssh/id_ed25519",
"public": "/home/spencer/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub"
}
],
"scan": {
"matcher": "\\.env",
"exclude": "*.envrc",
"include": "~"
}
}
```
## Backup Options
`envr` merely gathers your `.env` files in one local place. It is up to you to
back up the database (found at ~/.envr/data.age) to a *secure* and *remote*
back up the database (found at `~/.envr/data.age`) to a *secure* and *remote*
location.
### Git
`envr` preserves inodes when updating the database, so you can safely hardlink
`~/.envr/data.age` into your [GNU Stow](https://www.gnu.org/software/stow/),
[Home Manager](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager), or
[NixOS](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/flakes) repository.
> [!CAUTION]
> For **maximum security**, only save your `data.age` file to a local
(i.e. non-cloud) git server that **you personally control**.
>
> I take no responsibility if you push all your secrets to a public GitHub repo.
