SYNC ALL ENVS is an extension that helps you sync all your *.env files based on a template.

Features

There are 3 commands available on this extension:

1. Sync ALL *.env files

This function allows you to sync all your *.env files in your working directory with the .env template.

2. Sync selected *.env file

This function allows you to sync only a selected *.env file in your working directory with .env template.

3. Sync family .env files

This function allows you to sync files from the same family (root name).

• x.env: x is the family root name
• x-1.env: belongs to family 'x'

To create families, keep the same root name and separate the name with a '-'.

Example: In a repo where there are the following files:

ex.env  ex-1.env  ex-2.env  ase.env   ase-local.env

There are 2 families: ex and ase and ex.env and ase.env are the parents of these families.

After selecting which family to sync, the family files will be synced with the .env parent file of that family

4. Get .env diff with unique keys comparing 2 env files

This command will request for 2 inputs:

• 1- target .env file
• 2- reference .env file

The command will generate a copy of the target file with only the keys that are different from the reference .env file.

Requirements

The template env file and the target files must be located on the working directory.

By default, the template env file is named .env.template. This can be changed to a different template file on the extension settings.

By default, the target env filename pattern is *.env. Therefore any file with this pattern except .env will be used for syncing. This can be changed to a different pattern file name on the extension settings. This means that files with names such as vm.env, machine1.env and deployment.env will be found by the extension.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• syncallenvs.templateFilename: specifies the filename template to be used as base to sync other files, by default the template filename is .env.template

• syncallenvs.targetFilenamePattern: specifies filename pattern of the filename to be used to by synced with the template file, by default the target filename pattern is *.env
