🕺🏿💃 Gogo 🕺💃🏿

a simple tool to run a command in a given environment.

you don't like seeing environment variables in your history or in ~/.shrc ? 😭

with production passwords and database urls in plain text ? 🙉 😱 💥

So here is gogo a simple tool to load vars from a .gogo.yaml file! 🎉🥳

gogo will first read in the ./.gogo.yaml file (for project specific config), and if no file, it will try to read ~/.gogo.yaml (for more global config). And last but not least, gogo can encrypt your file using AES.
