kielabokkie/dotenv-diff

Checks the differences between dotenv files

Dotenv diff

, _(*1)

This package automatically compares your .env an .env.example files and notifies you when there are differences., _(*2)

Installation

The preferred way of installing this package is through composer:, _(*3)

composer require kielabokkie/dotenv-diff

Usage

Once the package is installed there are two ways of running the Dotenv diff automatically, either by using git hooks or composer scripts., _(*4)

Git hooks

First of all you can have the Dotenv diff run automatically when you do a git pull. To set this up you'll need to copy over the supplied post-merge git hook to your .git/hooks folder., _(*5)

From the root of your project execute the following command:, _(*6)

cp vendor/kielabokkie/dotenv-diff/git/hooks/post-merge .git/hooks/

Note: this will overwrite your existing post-merge hook so if you already have one you'll need to figure out how to combine multiple post merge hooks, _(*7)

Composer

You can also set it up so it runs whenever you run composer commands like composer install or composer update., _(*8)

All you need to do is call the run method from the scripts section of your composer.json file:, _(*9)

{
    "scripts": {
        "post-install-cmd": [
            "Kielabokkie\\DotenvDiff::run"
        ],
        "post-update-cmd": [
            "Kielabokkie\\DotenvDiff::run"
        ]
    }
}
