About Dotenv
Dotenv made .env files a standard. The platform now focuses on solving their biggest security flaw through encryption.
Dotenvx encrypts your .env files and works as a drop-in replacement. It provides cross-platform support, multiple environment handling, and enables secrets-as-code for git-ops workflows.
The platform offers three versions: classic dotenv, recommended dotenvx with encryption, and legacy dotenv-vault cloud option.

Questions on file
What is the difference between dotenv, dotenvx, and dotenv-vault?
Dotenv is the classic version. Dotenvx is the recommended version that adds encryption. Dotenv-vault is a legacy paid cloud-only option that has been replaced by dotenvx.
Why should I upgrade to dotenvx?
Dotenvx encrypts your .env files, solves the security flaw of lack of encryption, works as a drop-in replacement, supports multiple environments, and unlocks secrets-as-code for git-ops workflows.
