Bitwarden

Use Bitwarden secret references in .env files and resolve them securely at runtime with dotenvx.

Prerequisites

To get the most out of this guide, you’ll need to:

1. Install

Get the Dotenvx CLI.

$ curl -sfS https://dotenvx.sh | sh

2. Add a secret reference

Reference a login item from your Bitwarden vault. Item names can contain spaces. 
$ echo 'PASSWORD="bw://My GitHub Account/password"' > .env
The reference format is bw://<item>/<field>. Use an item name or ID with the username, password, or uri field.

3. Run

Run your command with the secret resolved from Bitwarden. If the vault is locked, Bitwarden prompts you to unlock it. 
$ dotenvx run -- sh -c 'echo Password loaded: ${PASSWORD:+yes}'
Password loaded: yes
