Get

Print a public environment variable.

Syntax

$ vela env get <key> -t <target>

$ vela env get PUBLIC_CMS_URL -t production
$ vela env get WHATSAPP_MODE -t preview
$ vela env get POCKETBASE_SUPERUSER_EMAIL -t local

For a target, the value is resolved the way the running app sees it: a key the instance does not set itself may still reach it from the all or preview layer. For -t all or -t preview, it is that layer’s own value.

A secret is never read back. Asking for one says that it is secret, and where it is set, and exits non-zero; vela env set is how it changes. Locally, .env is your own file, so every key in it prints.
