secretcli – an interface for the AWS Secrets Manager

Posted on October 21, 2018October 20, 2018 by Robert Hafner

I love the AWS Secrets Manager, but have found the awscli tools for it to be a bit bulky. Most of the time all I want to do is download a file, edit it, and upload it again- and even then I normally just want to quickly change a single value inside of my "secret".

The secretcli project makes all of that trivial, allowing all of these actions to be done with a single command-

  • Download an existing Secret to a file,
  • Upload a file to replace an existing Secret,
  • Create new Secrets that are ready to work as JSON data stores,
  • Retrieve a single value from a Secret,
  • Add, edit, or remove a single value from a Secret.

Like all of my projects you can find this one on Github, and contributions are always welcome.
