What’s New

CircleCI’s CLI now includes an env subst command, which serves as a wrapper around the popular envsubst CLI tool. The command is used to substitute environment variables in a text string or file.

circleci env subst is available in both the local CLI and inside all CircleCI jobs (coming to CircleCI server v4.2+). More information and usage examples can be found in the docs as well as in this Discuss post.

What’s New

The orb source, orb info, and orb/config validate CLI commands have been updated to work successfully with private orbs.

While the orb source and orb info commands operate the same as they do for public orbs, the orb/config validate command is different.

For more information on how to use the updated orb/config validate tool, please refer to the Private Orbs technical documentation.
