What happens:

Step 2

Encrypt Your Secrets

terminal
npx @nodatachat/protect encrypt
What happens:
  • ›Scans your .env for secrets (API keys, passwords, tokens, DB URLs)
  • ›Encrypts each secret locally with AES-256-GCM
  • ›Your .env file is now safe — even if stolen, nothing useful
  • ›A backup is created automatically (.env.backup.*)
  • ›ALL encryption happens on YOUR machine. Nothing leaves.
