Is there an API / cli to read/update env vars?
I was wondering if there is a way to programmatically read and set env vars in a convex env.
I am working on a way to automate deployment processes for projects with vercel, convex and clerk
In convex I couldn’t find any reference on this feature

looking at the git issues, I see this:
CONVEX_DEPLOY_KEY should work for npx convex env set. You can set the environment variable (should be doable from CI machines).
Doing something like:
CONVEX_DEPLOY_KEY={paste key generated from dashboard} npx convex env set {KEY} {VALUE}
And for dev: npx convex env set <name> [value]
correct? (https://github.com/get-convex/convex-backend/issues/123)

@Sorin Are you asking for a way to do this without the CLI?
That's coming before too long, but for now the CLI is the way to go
Cli is ok. I just didn’t see this option when i the initial message
