Usage
The extension exposes a command called .env Manager: Add to .env
. The command is available in VS Code "Command Palette" which you can also access using shortcut Cmd + Shift + P on Mac.
Alternatively you can also right click on any active editor and select .env Manager: Add to .env
from the context menu.
If the folder does not contain .env
file at the root, the extension attempts to create it before adding the line.
Make sure you backup your .env file if you have very important secrets in the .env file.
Never commit your .env file in to source control.
