Page guide

Create a value-free .env.example from an environment file. Keep the variable names and remove defaults, comments and secrets.

How to use Environment template generator
  1. Paste the source environment file.
  2. Resolve any malformed or duplicate assignments.
  3. Download .env.example and review its variable names before sharing.

Useful next steps

Extract the names your configuration uses

Paste a valid environment file in the supported portable dotenv dialect. The output retains each variable name in source order and follows it with an empty = assignment. Optional export prefixes are removed.

Leave values and comments behind

Values, quoted multiline content, defaults and comments are omitted from the template. A secret written in a comment is not copied. The report contains only counts and fixed diagnostics; it does not include original values.

Resolve ambiguity before generating a template

Malformed assignments or duplicate names block the template instead of guessing which entry to keep. The resulting .env.example documents observed names, not a verified list of every variable required by your application. Review names before sharing them.
