What is a .env
file?
💡 A .env file or dotenv file is a simple text file containing all the environment variables of a project. Storing configuration in the environment variables is one of the tenets of the Manifesto of Twelve-Factor App. The .env file has a simple key-value format, for example: FOO=BAR. More information you can find in articles in English and Russian.

$ wget -q -O - https://git.io/JLbXn | sh -s
You can find other installation methods here: https://dotenv-linter.github.io/#/installation
## 🚀 Usage
#### ✅ Check
By default, `dotenv-linter` checks all `.env` files in the current directory:
```shell
$ dotenv-linter
Checking .env
.env:2 DuplicatedKey: The FOO key is duplicated
.env:3 UnorderedKey: The BAR key should go before the FOO key
Checking .env.test
.env.test:1 LeadingCharacter: Invalid leading character detected
Found 3 problems
🛠 Fix
It can also fix the found warnings with the fix
command:
$ dotenv-linter fix
Fixing .env
Original file was backed up to: ".env_1601378896"
.env:2 DuplicatedKey: The BAR key is duplicated
.env:3 LowercaseKey: The foo key should be in uppercase
All warnings are fixed. Total: 2
🤲 Compare
In addition, dotenv-linter
can compare .env
files with each other and output the difference between them:
$ dotenv-linter compare .env .env.example
Comparing .env
Comparing .env.example
.env is missing keys: BAR
.env.example is missing keys: FOO
Other use cases you can find on the documentation site (https://dotenv-linter.github.io):
🚦 Continuous Integration
dotenv-linter
can also be used with CI services such as: GitHub Actions and Circle CI.
