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 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.

Features

• 🔐 Encrypted Storage: All .env files are encrypted using your ssh key and 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

TODOS

• Allow configuration of ssh key.
• Allow multiple ssh keys.

Prerequisites

• An SSH key pair (for encryption/decryption)
• The following binaries:
  • nushell
  • age
  • fd
  • sqlite3

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/username/envr.git
   cd envr
   

2. Install dependencies.
3. Configure nushell.

Quick Start

1. Initialize envr:

   nu mod.nu envr init
   

   This will create your configuration file and set up encrypted storage.

2. Scan for existing .env files:

   nu mod.nu envr scan
   

   Select files you want to back up from the interactive list.

3. List tracked files:

   nu mod.nu envr list
   

4. Sync your environment files:

   nu mod.nu envr sync
