This package provides a sync:env Artisan command, which checks your .env.example file for any new or missing environment variables and appends them to your .env file if they arenβt already present.
Run the following command to sync the environment variables:
php artisan sync:envThis command will:
- Check your
.env.examplefile and compare it to your.envfile. - Add any missing variables from
.env.exampleto.env, keeping your local environment configuration consistent.
Suppose your .env.example file includes new variables such as API_KEY and APP_ENV. When you run:
php artisan sync:envThe command will check for any missing variables in your .env file and automatically add them. This ensures all developers have the same set of environment configurations across different environments.
