Dotvault for Django

Dotvault for Django projects.

Django projects typically manage secrets through environment variables — SECRET_KEY, DATABASE_URL, the lot. Whether you're using python-dotenv, django-environ, or just os.environ, Dotvault gives you a visual editor that understands the conventions.

What you get

  • → Detects Django from requirements.txt or pyproject.toml.
  • → Recognises common Django env vars.
  • → Snapshot, diff, and multi-environment comparison.

Known environment variables

Dotvault recognises these variables when you open a Django project and surfaces helpful descriptions and warnings in the editor. Django is detected via `django` in requirements.txt or pyproject.toml.
