Because your .env.vault is encrypted, it is completely safe to commit it to your Git repository alongside your codebase.
echo $DOTENV_KEY_LOCAL # Should start with "dotenv://"
To "open" and use the secrets in .env.vault.local , your application requires a matching key usually stored in .env.keys or set as an environment variable ( DOTENV_KEY ).
Switching to a vault architecture that utilizes a .env.vault.local file offers several distinct advantages over traditional secret management:
对于开发者而言， .env 文件几乎是所有项目的标配。然而，随着项目复杂度的提升和团队规模的扩大，这套传统方案暴露出了越来越多的问题： .env.vault.local

In a team environment, sharing .env files over Slack or email is a security nightmare. Dotenv Vault solves this by encrypting secrets into the .env.vault file.
.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。 Because your
