Parse a .env (dotenv) file directly using BASH

Raw

parse_dotenv.bash

	# Pass the env-vars to MYCOMMAND
	eval $(egrep -v '^#' .env \| xargs) MYCOMMAND
	# … or ...
	# Export the vars in .env into your shell:
	export $(egrep -v '^#' .env \| xargs)

What's wrong with:

if [ -f .env ]; then
    set -o allexport
    source .env
fi

Works on macOS with my .env that works with docker compose and does not have quotes around every string.

Test with:

envsubst < "$secret_file" | cat

later in the same script.
