Engineered for zero leaks and sub-millisecond control

Automate .gitignore enforcement, encrypt secrets locally via AES-256 GCM, and switch environments without lifting your hands from the keyboard.

Gitignore Safety Guard

Scans your repo and blocks writes if .env is unignored. Never accidentally commit secrets to version control.

$ git commit -m "add api keys"
BLOCKED: unignored .env detected
Auto-appended .env to .gitignore safely
