  '🔐 prevent committing .env to code: https://dotenvx.com/precommit',
  '🔐 prevent building .env in docker: https://dotenvx.com/prebuild',
  '🛠️  run anywhere with `dotenvx run -- yourcommand`',
  '⚙️  specify custom .env file path with { path: \'/custom/path/.env\' }',
  '⚙️  enable debug logging with { debug: true }',
  '⚙️  override existing env vars with { override: true }',
  '⚙️  suppress all logs with { quiet: true }',
  '⚙️  write to custom object with { processEnv: myObject }',
  '⚙️  load multiple .env files with { path: [\'.env.local\', \'.env\'] }'
]

v17.0.1

Compare Source

Changed

• Patched injected log to count only populated/set keys to process.env (#​879)

v15.0.0

Compare Source

v15.0.0 is a major new release with some important breaking changes.

Added

Changed

• Breaking: # marks the beginning of a comment (UNLESS the value is wrapped in quotes. Please update your .env files to wrap in quotes any values containing #. For example: SECRET_HASH="something-with-a-#-hash").

..Understandably, (as some teams have noted) this is tedious to do across the entire team. To make it less tedious, we recommend using dotenv cli going forward. It's an optional plugin that will keep your .env files in sync between machines, environments, or team members.

Removed

• Breaking: Remove multiline option (just works out of the box now. no need for the flag.)
