.env File Generator
Add environment variable names and values to generate a properly formatted .env file, plus a safe .env.example with secrets blanked out for committing to git.
Mark real secrets (API keys, passwords, tokens) so the .env.example copy leaves them blank, that's the file you commit to git; add .env itself to .gitignore and never commit it.
Frequently asked questions
Why do I need both a .env and a .env.example file?+
.env holds your real values and should never be committed to git; .env.example documents which variables are needed, with secrets blanked out, so teammates know what to set up without seeing your actual credentials.
Does this tool store or send my values anywhere?+
No, everything is generated and held in your browser only; nothing is saved or transmitted.
Why are some values quoted in the output?+
Values containing spaces, quotes, or a # character are automatically wrapped in double quotes so they're parsed correctly by most .env loaders.
