A simple shell tool to assist with creating and loading .env files

Installation

Usage

Creating Environments

Create or edit an .env file in the current working directory

profile init

Create or edit an .env file in the current working directory, and create a symlink to it in ~/.environments.

By creating a symlink you can then refer to that environment from anywhere on the filesystem.
