Quick start

Get from zero to snapenv pull in under 5 minutes.

1. Create an account

Sign up at dash.snapenv.io. A workspace is created automatically.

2. Create a project

Click New project in the dashboard. Give it a name and choose which environments you need (dev, staging, prod are created by default).

3. Add variables

Open the project → select an environment → click Add variable. Or paste a .env file directly into the bulk import area.

4. Create an access token

Go to Settings → Access tokens → New token. Choose:

• Scope — read for pulling only, write for push too
• Environments — restrict which envs the token can access
• Project — leave blank for workspace-wide, or pin to one project

Copy the token — it's shown once.

5. Install the CLI

curl -fsSL https://get.snapenv.io/install.sh | sh

6. Authenticate

snapenv login --token snp_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx

7. Pull your secrets

snapenv pull --env prod
# ✓ 14 variables written to .env

That's it. Your .env file is populated and ready.
