✨ DOTENV(1) ✨

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about dotenv — it's from a lil thing called dotenv-rust, and it's a User Commands situation, so it lives in your terminal, where all the best drama happens 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

dotenv — aka dotenv-rust, the name on the birth certificate 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: you've got a .env file full of secrets and settings, and you wanna run a command with all that stuff already loaded into the environment. That's literally it. That's the whole gig.

dotenv runs a command using the environment in a .env file. no cap, that's the entire plot and it ate 🔥

💖 USAGE: 💖

dotenv <COMMAND> [ARGS]...

so you give it a COMMAND, and then whatever ARGS that command needs, and dotenv handles the rest. it's giving personal assistant energy 🫶

✨ OPTIONS: ✨

  • -f, --file <FILE> — Use a specific .env file (defaults to .env). so if you're not feeling the standard .env vibe today, you can point it at a whole different file. main character choice honestly 👑
  • -h, --help — Prints help information. when you're lost and need the map, this is the map 🗺️
  • -V, --version — Prints version information. for when you gotta know exactly which era of dotenv you're living in ⭐
friendly reminder bestie: the default file is .env and that is only the default — the moment you pass -f/--file, you're overriding it. lowkey important, highkey obvious 💜

and that's the whole page, no crumbs left behind 🍓
