EnvGuard

EnvGuard is a Visual Studio Code extension that helps protect sensitive information in your environment files by hiding values while you work.

Features

• Hide Sensitive Values: Automatically masks values in environment files to prevent accidental exposure
• Configurable File Patterns: Customize which files are protected (default: .env and .env.*)
• Toggle Visibility: Easily toggle between hidden and visible modes with a command

Usage

1. Open any environment file (.env, .env.local, etc.)
2. Values are automatically hidden with asterisks (*****) that match the length of the actual values
3. To toggle visibility for all values, use the command: EnvGuard: Toggle Environment Values Visibility
