The Unpaid Backbone of Open Source: Solo Maintainers Face Increasing Security Demands
Solo open source maintainers face burnout and security challenges, with 60% unpaid and 60% considering quitting.
configure-env
Advanced tools
CLI tool to generate and populate .env
files from .env.example
templates.
configure-env
will read a .env.example
or any other similar .env
file and prompt for values for each variable that has a comment header above it. Afterwards it will generate a .env
file out of it.
It works as a more user-friendly approach to:
cp .env.example .env
You can install the CLI tool via npm
or another package manager. Ideally install it as a dev dependency instead of global:
# Install it as a dev dependency
npm install configure-env --save-dev
# Afterwards you can use by using:
node_modules/.bin/configure-env
npx configure-env
# Or inside your package.json scripts section as "configure-env"
In a project that contains a .env.example
file, run:
$ npx configure-env --help
Prompts user for environment variables and generates .env files based on a
.env.example file
Usage:
configure-env.js -o [outputFile] -i [exampleFile]
Options:
--help Show help [boolean]
--version Show version number [boolean]
--output, -o Location of the .env file that should be written
[string] [default: ".env"]
--input, -i Location of input .env.example file for prompts
[string] [default: ".env.example"]
--verbose [boolean] [default: false]
Examples:
npx configure-env Reads a .env.example file in the current directory and
creates a .env file
configure-env.js | cat The output can be either written to a file or piped to
another process
