EnvCraft

EnvCraft is an .env file creator. You feed it with a given env.sample file and EnvCraft will create a corresponding .env file while asking you for all mandatory values. EnvCraft supports defining default values ("press return to accept") and custom prompts.

Installation

On macOS you should use brew

brew tap aus-der-Technik/tap
brew update
brew install aus-der-technik/tap/envcraft

For Linux, please download the latest release and install envcraft in /usr/local/bin

Usage

./envcraft.sh [input file] [output file (defaults to .env)]

Format of input file

The simples format is just a number of variables to be filled, one per line, either with or without a trailing =:

VARIABLE1=
VARIABLE2
VARIABLE3=

EnvCraft will ask you for a value for each, defaulting to no value.

If you want to define a default value for a variable, put a comment line starting with # default: in front of the corresponding variable:

# default: 13
VARIABLE1=
# default: foo
VARIABLE2
# default: spaces are also acceptable
VARIABLE3=

If you want to define custom prompts for a variable, add a comment line starting with # prompt: in front of the corresponding variable:

# prompt: Please define a value for variable 1 (typically a number)
# default: 13
VARIABLE1=
# prompt: Please provide a value for variable 2 (you can find that in our password safe as entry 'VARIABLE 2')
# default: foo
VARIABLE2
