hcelper | hcelper is designed to be used to aid

hcelper is a Go library. hcelper has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

hcelper is designed to be used to aid with navigating the Hashicorp enterprise stack. The idea is to use a Vault-first approach that logs you into vault and then uses secrets engines and configured roles to export the environmental variables required to access the rest of your stack. For people working with multiple tenant spaces, this helper program provides a simple method to log in to ALL tenant-related namespaces by logging into just vault. This is accomplished by the fact that access to hashicorp endpoints is generally accomplished by an ADDR field and a TOKEN field. This includes vault, though its default behaviour is to stick the token in a file (ew), which interferes with running multiple shells, as they all source the same file. Early on I realized I'd forgotten basic unix shell philosophy, namely that child shells can't export information to a parent shell, so the initial idea that the helper would export that for you was nix'd. evaling is out too because I need to prompt for authentication and I super do not want to tell people to just store that in a file.
