Installing

• Golang 1.11 or higher
• AWS access key ID and secret access key stored in your machine (ENVs or ~/.aws/credentials)

$ go get github.com/RafaelYon/aws-secrets-dotenv

Using

The entry point of the tool is the executable aws-secrets-dotenv. With this it is possible to view all commands and options by executing:

$ aws-secrets-dotenv

It is important to note that these examples assume that the $GOPATH/bin directory has been added to your environment's $PATH.

Retrieving the secrets in dotenv format

$ aws-secrets-dotenv get SecretId [--version-id VersionId] [--version-stage VersionStage] [{-f --file} .env] [--aws-region us-east-2]

To retrieve a secret all you need to specify is the AWS SecretId which will generate a .env in the current folder:

$ ls -la
drwxr-xr-x 4 user user  4096 out  5 10:53 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 user user  4096 out  2 16:43 ..
drwxr-xr-x 8 user user  4096 out  5 10:53 .git

$ aws-secrets-dotenv get example-secret

Silence is golden.

$ ls -la
drwxr-xr-x 4 user user  4096 out  5 10:53 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 user user  4096 out  2 16:43 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user    17 out  5 10:53 .env
drwxr-xr-x 8 user user  4096 out  5 10:53 .git
