Feature description

Provide a feature to export encrypted env files that can be committed to a git repository safely with the application source code. This feature would be similar to .dotenvx.

  1. Extend the env export currently part of Infisical to export encrypted env.
    2 .The keys to the decrypt to env file will be generated by Infisical
  2. The decryption key will be injected to the process as environment variable.
  3. The Infisical cli will be used to decrypt the env file using the decryption key.

Why would it be useful?

This would allow secrets to be part of the source code and developers, systems do not have to be online or have access to the Infisical server in order to get access to the secrets.

For Infisical, as product, it still remains the master secret store, the Infisical cli is still used inject the secrets.
