.env.vault.local: !full!

: This file (which should never be committed) contains the DOTENV_KEY required to decrypt the vault for specific environments.

.env.vault.local is a machine-specific, encrypted environment file used within the Dotenv Vault ecosystem. It extends the standard .env.vault pattern by adding a .local suffix, designating it for local overrides, development-specific secrets, or personal configurations that should never be committed to version control. This file ensures that sensitive, local-only variables remain encrypted while still being excluded from shared repositories.

Keep your .env.vault file in your repository, but strictly .gitignore your local .env files and your DOTENV_KEY . The decryption key should only be injected on your server's environment variables dashboard (e.g., Render, Vercel, AWS).

The main purpose of .env.vault.local is to:

Enter the .env.vault mechanism.

The .env.vault.local file functions as a transactional map. It contains distinct configuration targets, workspace pointers, and local tracking hashes. How to securely share your .env file with dotenv-vault

DB_HOST=localhost DB_PORT=5432 DB_USERNAME=myuser DB_PASSWORD=mypassword API_KEY=myapikey

.env.vault 支持多个环境的配置管理，例如 development 、 ci 、 staging 、 production 。每个环境都有对应的加密块和独立的解密密钥。
