Export files like environment files from 1Password ​

Using the 1Password CLI.

Start by following instructions to install the 1Password CLI..

Then follow instructions to set up integration between your desktop app and the CLI.

If on MacOS, you'll likely want to enable Touch ID in the settings too.

Use any command from the CLI to log in from here:

shell
op vault list

From here you can list items in a vault:

shell
op item list --vault Employee

INFO

Following steps assume you are exporting a Secure Note.

Once you've found the item, you can get details for the item you want to export:

shell
op item get secret-env-file-note --format json --fields notesPlain

Which will output something like:

json
{
  "id": "notesPlain",
  "type": "STRING",
  "purpose": "NOTES",
  "label": "notesPlain",
  "value": "DB_PASSWORD=asdf123\nDB_USER=superadmin",
  "reference": "op://Employee/secret-env-file-note/notesPlain"
}

Take that reference and op read it to get the content plain:

shell
op read "op://Employee/secret-env-file-note/notesPlain"

Then redirect to a file to save it as a .env:

shell
op read "op://Employee/secret-env-file-note/notesPlain" > .env
