Show HN: Align – A CLI tool for managing and validating environment configs

I built Align as a way to tame messy environment configs across dev, staging, and production.

It supports schema validation, type-safe config authoring, .env export, secrets detection, dry runs, environment diffing, and more.

Align isn’t another runtime config lib — it’s a dev-time CLI that acts as a single source of truth for environment config across teams and stacks.

Use cases: – Prevent config drift across environments – Export to .env, JSON, YAML, or TOML – Validate config structure before deploys – Generate CI/CD-safe config files – Keep secrets out of version control

Would love thoughts from the HN crowd — especially around multi-env pain points and whether this actually solves a real problem for you.
