Include the value of an environment variable at compile time.

Embed secrets (e.g. API keys) inside production artifacts at compile time.

include-env

Embed secrets (e.g. API keys) from environment variables inside production artifacts without checking them into the repository.

This use case is relevant e.g. in continuous integration (CI) settings.

Example

In GitHub each private repository can have a number of secrets, which can be conveniently changed without being exposed as needed; GitHub Actions can pass repository secrets in as environment variables during any step, which is where this library comes in handy.
