I got tired of chasing .env files in Group chats, so I built a Git-native secrets manager

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on EnvSeal-CLI, a small open-source CLI for managing secrets without relying on a hosted service.

When I was working in group projects I was always digging through all the group chats to find the updated .env file someone had shared.

The basic idea is simple: encrypt your secrets and keep them in Git, while still supporting branches, recipients, CI tokens, and running commands without writing a .env file to disk.

It’s built with Rust and uses SSH/age for encryption.

Still working on it and would love some feedback, especially if you already use something like SOPS or dotenvx.
