Environment variables for Snyk CLI

You can set the following environment variables to change CLI settings.

SNYK_TOKEN

Allows you to override the token that may be available in your Snyk configuration settings (~/.config/configstore/snyk.json). Use SNYK_TOKEN in a CI/CD environment. After setting SNYK_TOKEN you can get started using the CLI..

For information on how to get your account token see Authenticate the CLI with your account. You can also use a service account to authenticate; for more information see Service accounts. For additional information, see Authentication for third-party tools.

SNYK_CFG_<KEY>

Allows you to override any key that is also available as a snyk config option.

For example, SNYK_CFG_ORG=myorg overrides the default org option in config with "myorg".

SNYK_REGISTRY_USERNAME

For the snyk container commands, specify a username to use when connecting to a container registry. Note that using the --username flag overrides this value. This is ignored in favor of local Docker binary credentials when Docker is present.

SNYK_REGISTRY_PASSWORD

For the snyk container commands, specify a password to use when connecting to a container registry. Note that using the --password flag overrides this value. This is ignored in favor of local Docker binary credentials when Docker is present.
