Manage secrets with Infisical CLI
The CLI is designed for a variety of applications, ranging from local secret management to CI/CD and production scenarios. The distinguishing factor, however, is the authentication method used.
Local development only
Staging, production & all other use case
To use the Infisical CLI in your local development environment, simply run the command below and follow the interactive guide.
infisical login
If you are in a containerized environment such as WSL 2 or Codespaces, run infisical login -i
to avoid browser based login
Initialize Infisical for your project
# navigate to your project
cd /path/to/project
# initialize infisical
infisical init
This will create .infisical.json
file at the location the command was executed. This file contains your local project settings. It does not contain any sensitive data.
