Usage

sync-dotenv, by default, looks for a .env file in your working directory and synchronizes those keys with your .env.example file. Values will not be synchronized but existing ones in your example file will be kept.

If your files have different names, you can use the flags --env .secrets and --example .secrets.example.

If the flag --watch is provided, sync-dotenv will watch for changes in your working directory and automatically updates your example file.

Usage:

Flags:
--base string base path for all paths (default ".")
--env string path to your env file (default ".env")
