Frequently asked questions
What is a .env file?
▾
A plain text file that defines environment variables as KEY=VALUE pairs, one per line. It is loaded at startup by tools like dotenv and is used to configure apps without hardcoding secrets in source code.
Are comments supported?
▾
Yes. Lines starting with # are treated as comments. Inline comments after a value may or may not be supported depending on the parser — this tool strips them.
Should I commit my .env file to Git?
▾
No. .env files often contain secrets (API keys, database passwords). Add .env to .gitignore. Commit a .env.example with placeholder values to document required variables.
