Quickstart

This guide walks you through installing the CLI, creating your first project, and pushing your first set of secrets.

Step 1 — Install the CLI

Verify the installation:

Step 2 — Create an API token

  1. Sign in at app.enver-os.xyz
  2. Go to Settings → API Tokens
  3. Click Generate Token, choose write:secrets scope

Step 5 — Push your secrets

Make sure you have a .env file in the current directory, then:

Step 6 — Pull secrets on another machine

After logging in on the target machine:
Your .env is now populated — entirely decrypted on your local machine.
