Env Guard

Publisher: Wood Between Studio

Compare .env with .env.example, catch missing, extra, empty, and duplicate keys, sort keys, and optionally mask values in the editor. Everything stays on your machine.

Free (complete)

All of the following are included in the free extension and stay free:

Compare the current env file with .env.example (or .env.sample / .env.template)
Validate syntax and duplicate keys, then jump to the first issue
Sort keys while keeping comment blocks with the key they precede
Optional value masking in the editor
Warning when a .env file exists but .gitignore does not appear to ignore it

Pro extras

Every core feature listed above is free. Pro only adds extras:

Multi-env matrix report (.env, .env.development, .env.production, and other .env* files against the example)
HTML report of the current comparison

A Pro license will be sold at https://woodbetweenstudio.gumroad.com/l/env-guard-pro (coming soon). When it is available, paste the key into envGuard.proLicense. The key is stored locally. The extension does not phone home.
