Compare environment configs (dev vs prod)

Compare two .env files by key, spot duplicates, and convert the cleaned set into structured config.

Step 1

Paste both environment files into the toolkit

Start with the first .env file, then enable comparison and paste the second one. The toolkit compares by key so you can review missing or extra configuration without exposing the underlying values side by side.

Open .env Toolkit

Step 2

Resolve duplicates and drift

Look for duplicate keys, malformed lines, and environment-specific keys that do not belong in both places. This is usually the fastest way to explain why something works in dev but fails in prod.

Step 3

Treat secret warnings as review prompts

The toolkit flags secret-shaped values so you can decide whether a file should be shared, committed, or moved into a safer store. If you need a stricter final scrub before sharing snippets, run them through the secret redactor too.

Step 4

Convert to JSON or YAML for downstream config workflows

Once the keys look right, use the toolkit's conversion output to hand the config off to a pipeline or another system that expects JSON or YAML. This gives you a cleaner starting point than copying values out by hand.
