# Dotenv CLI Manager

A CLI-based UI for managing your environment variables. 

[![Version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/dotenv-cli-manager.svg)](https://npmjs.org/package/dotenv-cli-manager)

## Overview

This generates a `.env.{environment}` file for each environment and lets you manage them all in one place.

_This project started as a fork of [inquirer-table-prompt](https://github.com/eduardoboucas/inquirer-table-prompt)_

## Install

You can install this tool locally or globally

```bash

# local

npm install -D dotenv-cli-manager

# globl

npm install -g dotenv-cli-manager

```

## Usage

> ⚠ Warning ⚠️ Still in development. Not recommended for production use. See [In Development](#in-development).

Create an env file for each environment and name it `.env.{environment}`:

```bash

touch .env.local .env.development .env.staging .env.production

```

Fill in your variables into each file. The `examples` folder has some .env files you can start with if you dont have any.

> Projects are expected to use the same variable names across envs. If a varable shows up in any one of the env files, it will be given an empty value in all others. This is to enforce consistency and reduce the risk of missing variables in certain envs.

Run Dotenv CLI Manager

```bash

npx dcm

```

## In Development

This project is in the early stages of development.

### Roadmap

- add new variable

- add cursor to inline variable editor

- user-provided config for env file paths

- convert to TS

- remote file editing

- encrypted file editing
