Frequently asked questions
Should I commit my .env file to version control?
No, a .env file containing real secrets should never be committed. It's common practice to commit a .env.example template instead, which this tool is well suited for generating.
What format do environment variables use in a .env file?
Each line typically follows a KEY=value format, with no spaces around the equals sign in most conventions.
