fnox set

• Usage: fnox set [FLAGS] <KEY> [VALUE]
• Aliases: s

Set a secret value

Arguments

<KEY>

Secret key (environment variable name)

[VALUE]

Secret value to store.

If omitted: reads from stdin when piped (echo "x" | fnox set KEY), or prompts interactively with hidden input.

Passing secrets as arguments exposes them in shell history and ps output. For sensitive values, prefer stdin or the interactive prompt.

Description of the secret

-g --global

Save to the global config file (~/.config/fnox/config.toml)

-k --key-name <KEY_NAME>

Key name in the provider (if different from env var name)

-n --dry-run

Show what would be done without making changes

-p --provider <PROVIDER>

Provider to fetch from

--default <DEFAULT>

Default value to use if secret is not found

--if-missing <IF_MISSING>

What to do if the secret is missing (error, warn, ignore)

Choices:

• error
• warn
• ignore
