Tools like goenv are solid for reading and working with .env files locally.
Ghostable includes a CLI for that same kind of programmatic and command line usage:
ghostable.dev/docs/cli
Where things break down isn’t local access, it’s team coordination:
keeping values consistent across local, staging, and production
knowing what’s required vs optional
tracking who changed what and when
sharing access without passing raw secrets around
Ghostable handles the workflow around environments, not just loading them.
