Use Profiles

envlock supports two profile selection modes.

Mode A: Explicit Path

envlock -p ./profiles/dev.json

Use this when your profile lives next to a project.

Mode B: Named Profile with --use

envlock --use dev

Lookup behavior:

1. If ENVLOCK_PROFILE_HOME is set, resolve from $ENVLOCK_PROFILE_HOME/profiles/<name>.json.
2. Otherwise resolve from ~/.envlock/profiles/<name>.json.

Useful Flags

• --output shell: print shell exports.
• --output json: print JSON object.
• --strict: fail on duplicate keys in final output.

Resource URI Expansion

env values support URI expansion with ENVLOCK_RESOURCE_HOME:

• resource://path/to/file -> absolute path under resource home.
• resource-content://path/to/file -> file contents under resource home.

Default ENVLOCK_RESOURCE_HOME when unset:

• ~/.envlock/resources
