Environment variables

INFISICAL_TOKEN

Used to fetch secrets via a service token apposed to logged in credentials. Simply, export this variable in the terminal before running this command.

# Example 
export INFISICAL_TOKEN=st.63e03c4a97cb4a747186c71e.ed5b46a34c078a8f94e8228f4ab0ff97.4f7f38034811995997d72badf44b42ec

INFISICAL_DISABLE_UPDATE_CHECK

Used to disable the check for new CLI versions. This can improve the time it takes to run this command. Recommended for production environments.

To use, simply export this variable in the terminal before running this command.

# Example 
export INFISICAL_DISABLE_UPDATE_CHECK=true

Flags

--project-config-dir

Explicitly set the directory where the .infisical.json resides. This is useful for some monorepo setups.

# Example 
infisical run --project-config-dir=/some-dir -- printenv

--command

Pass secrets into multiple commands at once

# Example 
infisical run --command="npm run build && npm run dev; more-commands..."

--token

If you are using a service token to authenticate, you can pass the token as a flag

# Example 
infisical run --token="st.63e03c4a97cb4a747186c71e.ed5b46a34c078a8f94e8228f4ab0ff97.4f7f38034811995997d72badf44b42ec" -- npm run start

You may also expose the token to the CLI by setting the environment variable INFISICAL_TOKEN before executing the run command. This will have the same effect as setting the token with --token flag

--expand

Turn on or off the shell parameter expansion in your secrets. If you have used shell parameters in your secret(s), activating this feature will populate them before injecting them into your application process.

Default value: true

--env

This is used to specify the environment from which secrets should be retrieved. The accepted values are the environment slugs defined for your project, such as dev, staging, test, and prod.

Default value: dev

--secret-overriding

Prioritizes personal secrets with the same name over shared secrets

Default value: true

--tags

When working with tags, you can use this flag to filter and retrieve only secrets that are associated with a specific tag(s).

# Example 
infisical run --tags=tag1,tag2,tag3 -- npm run dev

Note: you must reference the tag by its slug name not its fully qualified name. Go to project settings to view all tag slugs.

By default, all secrets are fetched

--path

The --path flag indicates which project folder secrets will be injected from.

# Example
infisical run --path="/nextjs" -- npm run dev
