uv

Encrypt a .env file in a Python uv project with dotenvx, commit it safely, and inject its secrets at runtime.

Prerequisites

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

0. Setup

Create uv project. 
$ uv init hello-world
$ cd hello-world

1. Install

Get the Dotenvx CLI.

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

2. Encrypt

Encrypt your .env file.

$ dotenvx encrypt

3. Inject

Then inject your encrypted secrets at runtime with dotenvx run into a uv project. 
import os

def main():
    print(f"Hello {os.getenv('HELLO')}")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
$ dotenvx run -- uv run main.py
