# Luzifer / envrun
`envrun` is a small helper utility to inject environment variables stored in a file into processes.
It reads a `.env` file (configurable) from the current directory and then either takes its own environment variables or a clean set and adds the env variables found in `.env` to it. The resulting set is passed to the command you put as arguments to `envrun`.
## Examples
To visualize the effect of the utility the test command is `python test.py` with this simple python script:
```python
import os
for k in os.environ.keys():
print "{} = {}".format(k, os.environ[k])
```
It just prints the current environment to `STDOUT` and exits.
```console
$ cat .env
MY_TEST_VAR=hello world
ANOTHER_VAR=foo
$ python test.py | grep MY_TEST_VAR
## No output on this command
$ envrun --help
Usage of envrun:
--clean Do not pass current environment to child process
--encryption string Encryption method used for encrypted env-file (Available: gpg-symmetric, openssl-md5, openssl-sha256) (default "openssl-md5")
--env-file string Location of the environment file (default ".env")
--log-level string Log level (debug, info, warn, error, fatal) (default "info")
-p, --password string Password to decrypt environment file
--password-file string Read encryption key from file
--version Prints current version and exits
$ envrun python test.py | grep MY_TEST_VAR
MY_TEST_VAR = hello world
$ envrun python test.py | wc -l
45
$ envrun --clean python test.py | wc -l
3
$ envrun --clean python test.py
__CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING = 0x1F5:0x0:0x0
ANOTHER_VAR = foo
MY_TEST_VAR = hello world
```
## Encrypted `.env`-file
In case you don't want to put the environment variables into a plain text file onto your disk you can use an encrypted file and provide a password to `envrun`:
### GnuPG symmetric encryption
In this example an armored (`-a`) encryption is used. This is not required and you can leave out the `-a` flag.
```console
$ echo "MYVAR=myvalue" | gpg --passphrase justatest --batch --quiet --yes -c -a -o .env
$ cat .env

$ envrun -p justatest --encryption gpg-symmetric --clean -- env

```
### OpenSSL AES256 encryption
```console
$ echo 'MYVAR=myvalue' | openssl enc -e -aes-256-cbc -pass pass:justatest -base64 -out .env
$ cat .env
