# `fnox set`

- **Usage**: `fnox set [FLAGS] <KEY> [VALUE]`
- **Aliases**: `s`

Set a secret value

## Arguments

### `<KEY>`

Secret key (environment variable name)

### `[VALUE]`

Secret value to store.

If omitted: reads from stdin when piped (`echo "x" | fnox set KEY`), or prompts interactively with hidden input.

Passing secrets as arguments exposes them in shell history and `ps` output. For sensitive values, prefer stdin or the interactive prompt.

Save to the global config file (~/.config/fnox/config.toml)

### `-k --key-name <KEY_NAME>`

Key name in the provider (if different from env var name)

### `-n --dry-run`

Show what would be done without making changes

### `-p --provider <PROVIDER>`

Provider to fetch from

### `--base64-encode`

Base64 encode the secret

### `--default <DEFAULT>`

Default value to use if secret is not found

### `--if-missing <IF_MISSING>`

What to do if the secret is missing (error, warn, ignore)

**Choices:**

- `error`
- `warn`
- `ignore`
