Group-dotenv: Manage Multiple .env Files with Bash
Group-dotenv
Centrally manage multiple .env files
Installation
Available as a npm package
npm install --global group-dotenv
Usage
Inserts environment variables in multiple .env files based on a centrally-managed YAML configuration file.
Usage:
group-dotenv [-q]
group-dotenv <config-file> [-q]
group-dotenv pull <file1> <file2> ... [-q] [-o output-file]
Options:
-q: Quiet mode (suppress output except for errors)
-o: Specify output file for the 'pull' command. Default is 'group-dotenv.yaml'.
Applies the given environment variables to the .env files specified in the config file.
By default, the script looks for 'group-dotenv.yaml' in the current directory.
Configuration
The general format of the YAML config file is as follows:
variables:
- name: NODE_ENV
values:
- "./.env": development
"./.env.staging": staging
"./.env.production": production
- name: ANOTHER
values:
- "./.env": v1
"./.env.staging": v2
"./.env.production": v3
Running group-dotenv with this configuration will result in the following file at ./.env
NODE_ENV=development
ANOTHER=v1
...and so forth for the other .env files mentioned in the script.
Pull
The pull functionality reverses the process, generating a group-dotenv.yaml file from the passed .env files.
For instance, running
group-dotenv pull .env .env.staging .env.production
after running the example under Configuration will reverse the process and regenerate the sample group-dotenv.yaml file.
