cli

@stacklance/envguard-cli

CLI tool for validating, diffing, masking, and fixing environment variables.

Installation

npm install -g @stacklance/envguard-cli
# or use with npx
npx @stacklance/envguard-cli check

Commands

env-guard check

Validate a .env file against a schema.

env-guard check --path .env --schema ./env.schema.ts

Exits with code 1 on validation failure. In CI environments (CI=true), outputs GitHub Actions ::error:: annotations.

env-guard diff

Show missing and extra keys between .env and .env.example.

env-guard diff --env .env --example .env.example

Output:

┌──────────┬───────────────────────────────┐
│ Key      │ Status                        │
├──────────┼───────────────────────────────┤
│ REDIS_URL│ Missing from .env             │
│ LEGACY   │ Extra (not in .env.example)   │
└──────────┴───────────────────────────────┘

env-guard mask

Print all env vars with sensitive values redacted.

env-guard mask --path .env

Keys containing SECRET, KEY, TOKEN, PASSWORD, or PASS are auto-masked.

env-guard fix

Append missing keys (from .env.example) to .env with empty values.

env-guard fix --path .env --example .env.example

env-guard audit

Statically audit process.env usage in your codebase against a Zod schema file.

env-guard audit --dir ./src --schema ./env.schema.ts

Options:

Flag	Description	Default
--dir <paths...>	Directories to scan (supports multiple)	./src
--schema <path>	Path to Zod schema file	./env.schema.ts
--fix	Add undeclared keys to schema as z.string().optional()	false
--json	Output JSON instead of formatted text	false

Exits with code 1 if any undeclared env vars are found. In CI, outputs ::error:: and ::warning:: annotations.

CI Integration

When CI=true is set, failed validations output GitHub Actions annotations:

::error title=EnvGuard::DB_URL: Invalid url
