<\/figure>\n1Password CLI<\/strong> is a command-line tool<\/a> that allows you to securely access and manage your 1Password vault without leaving the terminal. Instead of manually copying and pasting secrets, which can be tedious and risky, you can fetch credentials programmatically, automate authentication workflows, and integrate secrets management into your development processes.<\/p>\n In this article, we\u2019ll explore how to install, configure, and use 1Password CLI to streamline your workflow while keeping your credentials secure.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re on macOS or Linux, the easiest way to install 1Password CLI is using Homebrew<\/a>:<\/p>\n If you\u2019re on Windows, I recommend referring to the official 1Password CLI documentation<\/a> for installation instructions.<\/p>\n For Windows and Linux, follow the official 1Password CLI installation guide to get the appropriate setup for your system.<\/p>\n Once installed, go to Then, sign in through the Terminal with the following command and select the 1Password account you want to sign in to:<\/p>\n Now, you\u2019re ready to securely access and manage secrets without exposing them in plain text.<\/p>\n When running commands that require authentication, manually copying and pasting credentials can be both tedious and insecure. With 1Password CLI, you can retrieve secrets dynamically using the To get the Then pass it in the command that requires the secrets. For example, to authenticate with Another way you can use 1Password CLI is by setting the secrets as environment variables. This is useful when working with multiple secrets or when you need to pass them to a script or a program.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re using Chromatic<\/a> to test your UI components, you can set the Then, you can run the script using the To make it even more seamless, you can use the Shell Plugins to integrate 1Password with popular third-party apps such as Github CLI<\/a>, Docker<\/a>, DigitalOcean CLI<\/a>, AWS<\/a>, HuggingFace<\/a>, OpenAI<\/a>, and many more.<\/p>\n In this example, we are going to try to integrate it with the Github CLI. To do so, we can run:<\/p>\n You\u2019ll be prompted to import your GitHub credentials into 1Password or select an existing 1Password item where your credentials are saved. In this case, since we\u2019ve already saved the GitHub credentials in 1Password, we can select the existing item.<\/p>\n Then, it will ask you the scope where the selected credentials can be used. In this case, we\u2019d select it to use it globally so that we can use it across different repositories.<\/p>\n If this is your first time installing a shell plugin, you\u2019ll need to add the source command to your RC file or shell profile to persist the plugin beyond the current terminal session. For example:<\/p>\n That\u2019s it for the setup! Now, you can use the 1Password CLI<\/strong> is a powerful tool that allows you to securely access and manage your secrets from the Terminal. With a little bit of setup, you can streamline your workflow and integrate secrets management into your development processes with other apps without exposing your credentials in plain text. If you haven\u2019t tried it yet, I recommend giving it a try to make your development workflow more secure and efficient.<\/p>\n The post Secure Secret Management with 1Password CLI<\/a> appeared first on Hongkiat<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As developers, we often deal with sensitive data like API keys, SSH credentials, database passwords, and other secrets.
