GitGone CLI

The GitGone CLI is the primary tool for managing project secrets during development. It connects your local environment to your GitGone server, allowing for secure synchronization of environment variables across your team.

Core Utility

The CLI replaces the manual sharing of sensitive configuration files by providing a centralized and encrypted workflow.

• End-to-End Encryption: Secrets are encrypted locally before being sent to the server. Learn more about our Security Architecture.
• Version Control: Every change is tracked as a snapshot, allowing you to see history and roll back if necessary.
• Process Injection: The CLI can inject secrets directly into your application process, reducing the reliance on persistent .env files.

Basic Workflow

1. Server Connection: Point your CLI to your instance using config set serverUrl. (Skip this if your project already has a .gitgone file).
2. Authentication: Connect your local machine to your GitGone account using login.
3. Project Linking: Use init to associate your local directory with a project on the server.
4. Synchronization: Use push to share your local changes or pull to retrieve updates from your team.
