Turborepo
Encrypt a Turborepo workspace .env file and inject its secrets when Turbo runs the application.
1. Encrypt
Keep the environment file beside the workspace that uses it and encrypt it.
$ dotenvx encrypt -f apps/web/.env
Commit
apps/web/.env, but never commit apps/web/.env.keys.
2. Run
Point
-f at the workspace directory and run Turbo through dotenvx.
$ dotenvx run -f apps/web -- npx turbo dev --filter=web
Dotenvx resolves
apps/web/.env, decrypts it, and injects its values into the Turbo process.
3. Add a script
Keep the same command in the root package scripts if the team runs it frequently.
{
"scripts": {
"dev:web": "dotenvx run -f apps/web -- turbo dev --filter=web"
}
}
Declare environment variables that affect task outputs in turbo.json as required by Turborepo’s environment-variable configuration.
For a shared root .env or separate .env.keys location, see Secrets in monorepos.
