source another file?

[clouds56]

I have 2 env files, .env which added to version control and .env.secret which saves password, is it possible to "source" .env.secret file in .env?

for example

# in .env
URL=https://example.com
source .env.secret

# in .env.secret
USERNAME=example
PASSWORD=password

I know dotenv::from_path(".env.secret").ok() could do this but it would be good to have this feature to make third party cli like "diesel_cli" happy.

• Ruby supports it,
• JS decries it,
• PHP glosses over it,
• Haskell is flexible about it,

but most importantly, there's no standard for it. I find myself agreeing with JS' stance on the problem, where the environment is considered separate on every machine. Is the env.example model so bad? (I remember using it myself, it makes the task of filling in your "secret" values intuitive)
