Automatically load your project ENV variables from `.env` file when you `cd` into project root directory.
Storing configuration in the environment is one of the tenets of a [twelve-factor app](http://www.12factor.net). Anything that is likely to change between deployment environmentssuch as resource handles for databases or credentials for external servicesshould be extracted from the code into environment variables.

## Installation
Just add the plugin to your `.zshrc`:
```sh
plugins=(git man dotenv)
plugins=(... dotenv)
```
## Usage
Create `.env` file inside your project directory and put your local ENV variables there.

```
You can even mix both formats, although it's probably a bad idea.
**It's strongly recommended to add `.env` file to `.gitignore`**, because usually it contains sensitive information such as your credentials, secret keys, passwords etc. You don't want to commit this file, it supposed to be local only.
## Version Control
**It's strongly recommended to add `.env` file to `.gitignore`**, because usually it contains sensitive information such as your credentials, secret keys, passwords etc. You don't want to commit this file, it's supposed to be local only.
## Disclaimer
This plugin only sources the `.env` file. Nothing less, nothing more. It doesn't do any checks. It's designed to be the fastest and simplest option. You're responsible for the `.env` file content. You can put some code (or weird symbols) there, but do it on your own risk. `dotenv` is the basic tool, yet it does the job.
