For example:

1. `apps/my-app/.env.local` contains `NX_API_URL=http://localhost:3333`
2. `apps/my-app/.env` contains `NX_API_URL=https://api.example.com`
1. `apps/my-app/.env.local` contains `NX_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://localhost:3333`
2. `apps/my-app/.env` contains `NX_PUBLIC_API_URL=https://api.example.com`
3. Nx will first load the variables from `apps/my-app/.env.local` into the process. When it tries to load the variables
from `apps/my-app/.env`, it will notice that `NX_API_URL` already exists, so it will ignore it.
from `apps/my-app/.env`, it will notice that `NX_PUBLIC_API_URL` already exists, so it will ignore it.

We recommend nesting your **app** specific `env` files in `apps/your-app`, and creating workspace/root level `env` files
for workspace-specific settings (like the [Nx Cloud token](/ci/recipes/security/access-tokens)).

Let's say that we want to define an API URL for the application to use:

```shell
NX_API_URL=http://localhost:3333 nx build myapp
NX_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://localhost:3333 nx build myapp
```

**Windows (cmd.exe)**

```shell
set "NX_API_URL=http://localhost:3333" && nx build myapp
set "NX_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://localhost:3333" && nx build myapp
