dotenv-utils

A couple of simple bash utility scripts for loading/unloading .env files.

Installation

I store my user scripts in ~/bin, so that I can run them globally from any directory I am in.
Below are the steps to set that up:

  1. Create ~/bin
  2. Copy envup and envdown to ~/bin directory you've created.
  3. Add ~/bin to PATH (I have this in ~/.bash_profile): 
    export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

Usage

. envup         # To load .env file
. envup custom  # To load .env.custom
. envdown  # To unload .env stored in DOTENV_PATH env var (created by envup)
