.env.vault.local Jun 2026

你会得到一个 .env.vault 文件，其中包含开发和生产环境的加密内容。同时还会生成一个 .env.keys 文件，存储解密密钥。

The CLI uses the identifiers inside .env.vault.local to match your local folder to the correct secure cloud vault, encrypting the keys into .env.vault locally before syncing. Troubleshooting Common Issues Issue 1: "Vault Identifier Missing"

By moving from plaintext .env to encrypted .env.vault and machine-specific .env.vault.local , you eliminate the trade-off between convenience and security. You get the best of both worlds: secrets that are versioned, shareable, deployable, private overrides for local development.

Developers can use the same encrypted vault structure locally that is used in production, reducing "it works on my machine" issues. .env.vault.local

需要注意的是，在 CI/CD 环境中， .env.vault.local 不会用到（因为不需要个性化配置）。这种方法显著提升了安全性，因为加密后的 .env.vault 文件就算在代码仓中被意外公开，因为缺乏 DOTENV_KEY，攻击者也根本无法获取到解密后的敏感信息。

env-vault provides a convenient way to launch a program with environment variables populated from an encrypted file. .env and .env.local | by Naman Ahuja | Medium

Let’s look at the technical mechanics. The .env.vault.local format is typically produced by tools like @dotenvx/dotenvx or Dotenv Vault. 你会得到一个

: A file containing the decryption keys for each environment. This file is strictly local and never committed.

Executing this command creates the following key files:

The standard Dotenv Vault file loading order (highest to lowest priority) is: Developers can use the same encrypted vault structure

.env.vault.local .env.local *.local.env

file that is safe to commit to source control. It contains AES-256 GCM encrypted ciphers for different environments like production or CI.
