  2 322 6.1 C

  Standalone, language agnostic dotenv (by gyf304)

• direnv

  160 11,759 8.7 Go

  unclutter your .profile

  

I think direnv already does a good job in this space, and it's already available in your package manager.

• dotfiles

  1 0 - Python

  My dotfiles, containing configuration and scripts that I find useful. (by supriyo-biswas)

I wrote my own some time ago: https://github.com/supriyo-biswas/dotfiles/commit/39585b42c2...

• dotenvy

  2 562 6.4 Rust

  A well-maintained fork of the Rust dotenv crate

The same thing already exists in Rust, it’s both a library for in-process loading and a binary, I use it daily and only for the binary: https://github.com/allan2/dotenvy

• sops-run

  1 1 2.3 Python

  Python wrapper for sops to execute commands with environment variables provided by a sops-encrypted file.

This is interestingly similar to a little tool I wrote called sops-run [0], which manages encrypted secrets for cli tools using Mozilla’s sops [1]. Biggest upshot is that you can use it more confidently for secrets with encryption at rest. Built it when I was trying out CLI tools that wanted API keys, but I didn’t want to shove them into my profile and accidentally upload them into my dotfiles repository. Do need to finally get back to making this a package, being able to install it with pip(x) would be really nice.
