Frequently asked questions
Practical answers for syncing .env files, encryption, CLI/CI, team access, and plans — without a sales call.
How do I stop committing .env files?
Keep secrets in Eanvi instead of in git. From a project folder, run eanvi init to bind the environment, then eanvi pull to write a local .env that stays gitignored. Share access through the org — not by pasting values in Slack or checking files into the repo.
Are my secret values encrypted?
Yes. Values are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM before they hit the database. List and browse views show keys only; plaintext appears only when you explicitly reveal or pull a value. Your team never sees ciphertext as the working format — you work with keys and decrypted values on demand.
How do I use this from the CLI and CI?
Authenticate once with eanvi login (or an API key in CI). eanvi pull writes the current environment to a local file; eanvi push uploads local changes with version checks; eanvi sync, diff, list, and doctor cover day-to-day work. Pipelines use API keys so deploys never need an interactive login.
Who on my team can see secrets?
Access follows organization roles and project membership. Invite teammates, assign roles, and scope who can read, write, or manage environments. Audit history shows who changed what, so you can review access without digging through chat logs.
What if I overwrite a secret by mistake?
Each change is versioned. You can inspect history, compare versions, and restore a previous value when something goes wrong — instead of hoping someone still has the old .env on their laptop.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Free is $0 forever: 1 organization, 2 projects, 3 environments, 25 encrypted secrets, 7-day audit history, and CLI/API access. Upgrade to Pro or Team when you need more projects, longer history, or tighter team controls.
What happens if I cancel a paid plan?
Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You keep paid limits until then, then the org moves to Free plan limits. Secrets stay in the workspace; you can resume before the period ends if you change your mind.
