Populate env vars from .env file with Shell

This should work

export $(cat .env | xargs)

But not all time namely if it includes some comments and you are running it with sh (not bash)

Then, mitigate this issue by using instead:

export $(cat .env | sed ‘s@#.*@@’| tr -d ” | xargs)

This should work

export $(cat .env | xargs)

But not all time namely if it includes some comments and you are running it with sh (not bash)

Then, mitigate this issue by using instead:

export $(cat .env | sed 's@#.*@@'| tr -d '' | xargs)
