env-file-generator

To generate a .env.example file, you scan the codebase to discover environment variable usage across Node, Python, and Java, then produce a copy-ready template populated with safe placeholders and inline documentation.

Auditing environment variable usage involves scanning code for process.env, os.environ, and System.getenv references, cross-verifying with existing .env files to surface missing or conflicting configurations, and generating a categorized template.

Yes, you can detect environment variables in docker-compose setups and Node projects simultaneously by scanning for process.env references and configuration files to ensure all required variables are documented in a single output.

Yes, env-file-generator works with Python and Java by detecting os.environ and System.getenv references during the codebase scan to build a comprehensive and validated .env.example file.

Creating safe placeholders for an env file template requires scanning the source code for variable names and generating non-sensitive substitution values, ensuring no real secrets are exposed in the documented configuration.

Environment variables may be missing from a generated .env.example if they are dynamically constructed or loaded from unscanned external files, requiring a cross-verification with existing project configurations to surface conflicts.
