Switch between your project's .env files without fear, and share them without leaking.
Features
Switch Environment: pick from .env / .env.local / .env.development / .env.staging / .env.production
(configurable via envVault.files) → the chosen file is copied into the active .env,
and the previous content is backed up to .env.backup-<timestamp> first.
Generate Masked Copy: writes <active>.masked where secret-looking values
(KEY|TOKEN|SECRET|PASSWORD|DSN|CREDENTIAL|PRIVATE or long values) become ab****… —
keys and structure stay intact, values don't leak. Review before sharing; this is a convenience,
not a redaction guarantee.
Status bar: shows the currently active env file; click to switch.
Safety notes
Values are never printed to any output channel — only file names appear in messages.
Backups are additive (timestamped); nothing is deleted.
Pro version (planned)
Team-synced environment profiles and an audit log of who switched what, when.
The free extension is fully usable on its own — no nags, no telemetry.
