An epic environment manager to fix local environment variable management

EpicEnv is an environment manager designed to facilitate secure management of environment variables for teams collaborating on projects, preventing sensitive information from being exposed in version control. It currently supports macOS and Linux. To get started, users can install EpicEnv via a simple command and initialize it in their project directory. Environment variables can be added as shared or personal, with personal variables remaining uncommitted to Git. Collaborators can be invited using their GitHub usernames, and the environment can be activated or deactivated with specific commands. Changes should be committed to the Git repository, and variables can be removed as needed.

EpicEnv incorporates several security features, including encryption of environment variables using AES GCM mode, with symmetric keys secured by RSA keys from collaborators. It also protects personal variables from being added to the global set, reducing the risk of accidental leaks. Users are advised to rotate keys if a collaborator is uninvited to maintain security. The tool aims to simplify the management of local environment variables in collaborative settings, allowing developers to work with necessary configurations while safeguarding sensitive information. For further details, users can refer to the EpicEnv GitHub repository.
