git-vars package

Pushing Variables to Local

< >

Pushing Environment Variables

Push environment variables from your local .env.project file to a GitLab repository.

Prerequisites

Ensure you are in the base directory of your repository where the .env.project file is located.

cd /path/to/your/repository

Push Command

git-vars push -f .env.project 

# -f --file: Path of the file to be pushed from

The output of this command would be something like this:

New Variables:
  <VARIABLE_NAME> = <VARIABLE_VALUE>

Updated Variables:
  <VARIABLE_NAME> --> OLD: <OLD_VALUE>, NEW: <NEW_VALUE>

Deleted Variables:
  <VARIABLE_NAME>

Do you want to apply these changes to GitLab? (yes/no):

After confirming that you want to apply those changes, this is the output of git-vars:

ENV VARIABLE [ACTION] -> VARIABLE_NAME - success

This way, users can manage easily and straightforwardly the GitLab repository variables with local environment variables.
