Keyway

GitHub-native secrets management. If you have access to a repo, you have access to its secrets.

Quick Start

1. Initialize

cd your-project
npx @keywaysh/cli init    # Opens browser for GitHub auth + syncs your .env

2. Pull (on another machine or teammate)

npx @keywaysh/cli pull

3. Sync with a provider (optional)

npx @keywaysh/cli sync vercel

That's it. Your team members with repo access can immediately pull secrets.

• CLI authenticates via GitHub OAuth
• API verifies repo access via GitHub API
• Secrets encrypted with AES-256-GCM

Team Access

GitHub repo permissions = Keyway permissions. No separate invitations.

Personal repos: Owner has full access, collaborators get read/write.

Role	Can Read	Can Write
Owner	✓	✓
Collaborator	✓	✓

Organization repos: Fine-grained roles available.

Role	Can Read	Can Write	Can Admin

Triage	✓	-	-

Onboarding a teammate:

1. Add them to GitHub repo
2. They run keyway pull

• Centralized billing (Team plan for the whole org)
