This introduces a new flag calledI have updated the README.md with links to http://dotenvx.com which even allows to check encrypted .env files in the source control. While there are other tools such as sops, git-secret, dotenvx is probably the most simple one for anyone to get started.--var-env-prefixwhich defaults toenv:. This allows us to replace variables with environment variables allowing us to store the secret in CI or have dynamic values without writing tools.[update]
Thinking more about this I updated the code to now use
--env-templatewhich uses<<$env(VARIABLE)>>prefix instead ofenv:. Right now I loop through the items in variables files, but in the future we could use the same template to expand to other files such as nomad jobs or even the entire variables file. Tried to use a template syntax that doesn't conflict with nomad variables. I'm using$env()to allow opportunities in the future to add support for other sources.
