# envr - Backup your env files
|
||||
|
||||
Have you ever wanted to back up all your .env files in case your hard drive gets
|
||||
nuked? `envr` makes it easier.
|
||||
|
||||
`envr` is a [Nushell](https://www.nushell.sh) script that tracks your `.env` files
|
||||
in an encyrpted sqlite database. Changes can be effortlessly synced with
|
||||
`envr sync`, and restored with `envr restore`.
|
||||
|
||||
`envr` puts all your .env files in one safe place, so you can back them up with
|
||||
the tool [of your choosing](#backup-options).
|
||||
|
||||
## Features
|
||||
|
||||
- 🔐 **Encrypted Storage**: All `.env` files are encrypted using your ssh key and
|
||||
[age](https://github.com/FiloSottile/age) encryption.
|
||||
- 🔄 **Automatic Sync**: Update the database with one command, which can easily
|
||||
be run on a cron.
|
||||
- 🔍 **Smart Scanning**: Automatically discover and import `.env` files in your
|
||||
home directory.
|
||||
- 📝 **Multiple Config Formats**: Support for many configuration formats,
|
||||
including: JSON, TOML, YAML, INI, XML, and NUON.
|
||||
- [ ] TODO: 🗂️ **Rename Detection**: Automatically handle renamed repositories.
|
||||
- ✨ **Interactive CLI**: User-friendly prompts for file selection and management
|
||||
thanks to [nushell](https://www.nushell.sh/)
|
||||
|
||||
## TODOS
|
||||
|
||||
- [x] `envr sync` - Restore missing .env files, and update backed up ones.
|
||||
- [x] `envr scan` - Search for missing / moved .env files.
|
||||
- [ ] Allow configuration of ssh key.
|
||||
- [ ] Allow multiple ssh keys.
|
||||
|
||||

```toml
|
||||
# Example ~/.envr/config.toml
|
||||
source = "~/.envr/config.toml"
|
||||
priv_key = "~/.ssh/id_ed25519"

|
||||
location.
