It would be useful to execute a command with multiple namespaces, something like:

envchain --env=aws --env=some_other_env my_command

I'd like to store multiline secrets (e.g. - ~/.ssh/id_rsa) to envchain. Unfortunately, running this doesn't work:

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa | envchain -s foo my_private_key

my_private_key only stores the top line

-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----

Background

I am using envchain from a while ago, but recently I am experiencing issues with the namespaces.
The AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID , AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY secrets are not getting updated on both namespaces (nonprod and prod), the problem is that when I check for the available namespaces I am seeing duplications:
Note: Namespaces 'test', 'nonprod1' and 'prod1' I set them for testing purposes.

$envchain --list                                                                                                                                               ok | 14:32:03
prod
nonprod
prod1

Problem

I already tried a couple things:

1. Uninstalling envchain to have a clean installation and set the namespaces again, but it keeps carrying the old and bad namespaces.

brew uninstall envchain

As well, I checked for any residual files but nothing is prompting.

brew list envchain                                           ok | 14:52:10
Error: No such keg: /usr/local/Cellar/envchain

And there is no configuration in the shell in my '.zshrc' related to envchain.

 ~  brew uninstall envchain                                                                  ok | 15:03:50

Error: No such keg: /usr/local/Cellar/envchain
 ~  brew install envchain                                                                 1 err | 15:04:01

2. Tried to upgrade to the latest version in order to use --unset option but seem like the version available for Homebrew is not getting the latest release that includes that option.

Any help is more than welcome =D

Thanks!

When I run envchain --list, it seems to contain duplicate entries based on the number of environment variables set in the namespace. For example:

$ envchain
envchain version 1.0.1
...
$ envchain --set test ENV1 ENV2
test.ENV1: hello
test.ENV2: world
$ envchain --list
test
test

I was wondering what would be the best way to use envchain with direnv? Basically, I'd like to hide some values in my .envrc files and was wondering if this would now be possible with envchain.

Hello,

Thanks for you work :-) However, envchain sometimes fails unexcpetedly. For instance:

$ envchain ns eval "echo 1"
#=> execvp failed: No such file or directory

It fails for any namespace.

Currently when accessing the env, the identity prompt looks as below:

Is it possible to use Touch ID like this?

Background

I want to use envchain within our mobile team to store the App Store Connect API key credentials, which consist of an issuer id, key id and .p8 key file.

For simplicity and security, we already hold the .p8 file contents in secrets on Bitrise and since we need to run some operations locally, it feels like it would be appropriate to do this as well using envchain.

Problem

The problem that I faced however was that I couldn't get the multiline string to work with envchain --set.

If i try pasting it, only the first line is accepted. I also tried something like the following:

$ cat /path/to/key.p8 | envchain --set asc APP_STORE_CONNECT_API_KEY_KEY

But the same issue, only the first line is written.

Workaround

I can open the Keychain Access app and paste the multiline string in there, but it would be great if this could be avoided.

I'm sorry that I can't open a Pull Request directly for this, I am not very good with C 😄

Hello, thanks for the cool project!

I'd like to set variables from a script, in a fashion similar to:

# do some stuff to get/generate values
envchain -s foo BAR <<VALUE_HERE>>

From the readme this doesn't seem to be possible, but I was wandering if I'm missing something.

I could write a little wrapper that replies to envchain prompts, but it seems a bit too hackish!

Thanks

Is it possible to add listing to the app?
I'm using it every day and have no knowledge of C/C++.
There are times I forget saved name of the namespace and need to restore it somehow...

Thanks

This tool is super helpful! I install it through Homebrew, which references the most recent build, 1.0.1. Would it be possible to create a new release to get easier access to --unset?

If I have to pass a key as an argument to a command (like my-command --key=<key>) how do I write the command to get the value that's been set with envchain?

For example, my-command doesn't use a defined environment variable, so using envchain myNamespace my-command won't work since it requires me to pass the API key through the --key flag argument.

I've tried echoing out the value after getting it from envchain myNamespace env with various methods, but all of them return an empty string. If I use grep to look for the variable, it shows me that it's set, but I can't find any simple methods (such as echoing it directly or in a sub-command) that will get the value to let me pass it in the command's arguments.

So far, I've tried these without success:

envchain myNamespace my-command --key $MY_API_KEY
my-command --key $(envchain myNamespace env | echo $MY_API_KEY)

The only one I've gotten to work uses eval, and I'm hoping there's a better way:

export eval $(envchain myNamespace env | grep MY_API_KEY) && my-command --key $MY_API_KEY
