What it does

From dotenv to dotenvx – better config management

Encrypt your secrets. Ship them with your code.

$ echo "HELLO=Secret" > .env $ dotenvx encrypt ◈ encrypted (.env) Encrypt your secrets in .env files. The values become encrypted text, while the variable names stay readable. Only your private key can unlock the secrets. HELLO=encrypted:BAgYNmJ3PV9+aajRwCh1Wx... $ git add .env $ git commit -m "Add encrypted secrets" Commit your encrypted .env alongside your code. Share secrets through git, but keep your private key out of the repository. $ dotenvx run -- node index.js ⟐ injected env (2) from .env Ship your code and encrypted secrets together. Your deployment supplies the private key so Dotenvx can unlock your secrets at runtime. Where do I put the private key? Git for distribution, .env…from dotenvx.com

  Dotenv, if it is a Unix utility2024 · github.com · ▲225

  I like the idea of using dotenv files, but I dislike having to use different language-specific libraries to read them. To solve this, I created a small utility that lets you prefix any command with "dotenv" to load the ".env" file. This is how I imagine dotenv would work if it had started as a UNIX utility rather than a Node.js library.

  Gitdot – A better GitHub. Open-source, written in RustJun 2026 · gitdot.io · ▲334

  What works now: user signups, org creations, private/public repos, and importing GitHub repositories (both as read-only mirrors and full migrations). So basically, you can create, push and pull to a repo, but we don't have many features quite yet (issues, PRs, CI). What is a bit unique is: 1) we built it in Rust and 2) the website is a little odd. Its design is inspired by CLIs (e.g., fzf, broot, vim) instead of web apps, and as such, lacks some affordances that you might typically expect in favor of keyboard-driven instant navigations (we have the very ambitious goal of an FCP of…

  Talanoa▲340

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
