Building software is a team game. In the real world, however, env vars are set up in silos — and to git .env is a sin.

Configry helps you collaborate on environment variables in real time in a well-defined manner safeguarding your configuration data. Configry does this without compromising on privacy and security of your account. No need to share credentials or api keys. No need to send environment variables over unsafe channels.

Sharing

Share a config application with your colleague and she is all set to use the same configuration set within her execution environment. Configry does this without compromising on privacy and security of your account. No need to share credentials or api keys.

Cloning

When you share, you work on the same copy of the configuration which means any change in the configuration is reflected for everyone. If you want to have separate sets, you may simply clone a configuration either for yourself or for a fellow team mate. This, of course, means you are free to make changes in your copy of environment variables without affecting others.
