<Info>
  The `--environments` flag is available in [the latest beta build of 1Password CLI](https://app-updates.agilebits.com/product_history/CLI2#beta), version `2.33.0-beta.02` or later.
</Info>

[1Password Environments](/environments) allow you to organize and manage your project's environment variables, separately from the rest of the items in your 1Password vaults. You can create an Environment for each project or development stage, then securely access your variables directly from 1Password when you need them.

### Subcommands

* [environment read](#environment-read): Read environment variables from a 1Password Environment

## environment read

Read environment variables from a 1Password Environment.

```shell theme={null}
op environment read <environmentID> [flags]
```

Specify the 1Password Environment by its ID. To find an Environment's ID, open the 1Password app, navigate to **Developer** > **View Environments** > then select **View environment** > **Manage environment** > **Copy environment ID**.

### Examples

Read variables from a 1Password Environment:

```shell theme={null}
op environment read <environmentID>
```
