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
- Paste the source environment file.
- Resolve any malformed or duplicate assignments.
- 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.
