Environment variables

INFISICAL_TOKEN

Used to fetch secrets via a machine identities apposed to logged in credentials. Simply, export this variable in the terminal before running this command.

# Example
export INFISICAL_TOKEN=$(infisical login --method=universal-auth --client-id=<identity-client-id> --client-secret=<identity-client-secret> --silent --plain) # --plain flag will output only the token, so it can be fed to an environment variable. --silent will disable any update messages.

Alternatively, you may use service tokens.

# Example
export INFISICAL_TOKEN=<service-token>

INFISICAL_DISABLE_UPDATE_CHECK

Used to disable the check for new CLI versions. This can improve the time it takes to run this command. Recommended for production environments.

To use, simply export this variable in the terminal before running this command.

export INFISICAL_DISABLE_UPDATE_CHECK=true

flags

--template

The --template flag specifies the path to the template file used for rendering secrets. When using templates, you can omit the other format flags.

my-template-file

{{$secrets := secret "<infisical-project-id>" "<environment-slug>" "<folder-path>"}}
{{$length := len $secrets}}
{{- "{"}}
{{- with $secrets }}
{{- range $index, $secret := . }}
"{{ $secret.Key }}": "{{ $secret.Value }}"{{if lt $index (minus $length 1)}},{{end}}
{{- end }}
{{- end }}
{{ "}" -}}

# Example
infisical export --template="/path/to/template/file"

--env

Used to set the environment that secrets are pulled from.

# Example
infisical export --env=prod

Note: this flag only accepts environment slug names not the fully qualified name. To view the slug name of an environment, visit the project settings page.

default value: dev

--projectId

By default the project id is retrieved from the .infisical.json located at the root of your local project. This flag allows you to override this behavior by explicitly defining the project to fetch your secrets from.

# Example

infisical export --projectId=XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

--expand

--include-imports

--format

--secret-overriding

--path

--tags

When working with tags, you can use this flag to filter and retrieve only secrets that are associated with a specific tag(s).

# Example
infisical run --tags=tag1,tag2,tag3 -- npm run dev

Note: you must reference the tag by its slug name not its fully qualified name. Go to project settings to view all tag slugs.

By default, all secrets are fetched
