env-secrets

env-secrets is a Node.js CLI that fetches secrets from a vault (starting with AWS Secrets Manager) and injects them into the environment variables of a child process you run.

Highlights

• Pull JSON secrets and expose each key as ENV.
• Run any command with injected secrets: env-secrets aws -s <name> -- <your command>.
• Works globally (npm i -g env-secrets) or with npx per project.
• Debug-friendly (DEBUG=env-secrets,...).

Quick Start

# Install globally
npm install -g env-secrets

# Or use with npx
npx env-secrets aws -s my-secret -- node app.js
