envset

envset is a command-line tool for setting environment variables in a .env file. it allows you to easily add or update environment variables without manually editing the .env file.

this cli was thrown together quickly with aider, i also put up a blog post explaining why i made this.

installation

avaialble via homebrew and cargo:

brew install schpet/tap/envset

cargo install envset

usage

set variables

# basic usage
envset KEY1=value1 KEY2=value2

# pipe in stdin, useful for copying stuff from one env to another
echo -e "KEY1=value1\nKEY2=value2" | envset

# .env in the cwd is default, but you can use a different path
envset --file .env.test KEY1=value1

# avoid clobbering existing values
envset --no-overwrite KEY1=newvalue1

get variables

# print a single value
envset get KEY1

# print all key value pairs
envset print

# print all keys
envset keys

delete variables
