SecretStash CLI (PHP / Laravel)

Stop sharing .env files in Slack.

The SecretStash CLI lets you securely sync environment variables across your team, applications, and environments—directly from your Laravel or PHP project.

Built for developers who want a simple, secure way to manage secrets without breaking their workflow.

Requirements

• PHP 8.2 or higher
• Laravel 11 or higher
• A SecretStash API Key

🚀 Why SecretStash?

If you’ve ever:

• Shared .env files over Slack, email, or Notion
• Accidentally committed secrets to Git
• Struggled keeping dev/staging/prod configs in sync
• Spent too long onboarding teammates with environment setup

👉 SecretStash fixes this in minutes.

⚡ Quick Start (2 Minutes)

1. Install

2. Authenticate

3. Pull your environment variables

✅ Your .env file is now synced and secure.

🌐 Use with SecretStash Cloud

The CLI is designed to work with SecretStash Cloud:

👉 https://secretstash.cloud

With the cloud platform, you can:

• Manage applications and environments in one place
• Share secrets securely across your team
• Sync configs across multiple machines instantly
• Avoid ever exposing sensitive values

Start free — no credit card required.

🔐 Secure by Design

SecretStash uses zero-knowledge encryption:

• Secrets are encrypted locally before being sent
• Your encryption keys never leave your machine
• SecretStash servers never see your raw values

Only you and your team can decrypt your secrets.

⚙️ How It Works

1. Store your environment variables in SecretStash Cloud
2. Encrypt values locally before transmission
3. Use the CLI to sync .env files across environments

This ensures a secure, consistent workflow from local development to production.

💡 Common Use Cases

👥 Team Collaboration

Keep your entire team in sync without sharing sensitive files manually.

🌍 Environment Management

You can import your existing variables into SecretStash and start syncing immediately.

🆚 Why Not Just Use .env Files?

.env files alone:

• ❌ Hard to share securely
• ❌ Easy to leak
• ❌ Not synced across teams
• ❌ No access control

SecretStash:

• ✅ Secure sharing
• ✅ Encrypted end-to-end
• ✅ Built for teams
• ✅ CLI-native workflow
