[ogwurupatrick]

This is by far the most "Straightforward and Enlightening" lesson on youtube about environment variable configuration!

That was a very helpful approach of explanation. I managed to debug and fix my environmental variables issue I had. Thank you sir.

[LostInAutism]

Thank you. I've looked all over the place and got a very minimal understanding of .env files. In fact, how they exist in their current form isn't at all how I anticipated. I appreciate the thorough showcase of all the modules to assist. Keep up the good work ;)

Code Realm back at it again. I WAS HERE. In time you will have many followers friend. I appreciate your response to comments and want to say you do tutorials the best in my opinion and I wish we had mass content from you, but am incredibly thankful for what you do put out.
My?: I've been using MacOS as an environment for some time professionally to code. I've been debating using Ubuntu instead as I'm not a huge fan of Windows. May you consider an OS video in which you briefly explain the different OS environments, what to expect from a software engineer perspective/focus, the pros and cons of each, and what personal machine you use with Ubuntu? Also, it would be great to hear your story in a video at some point if you are comfortable. Did you get a CS degree, teach yourself, attend an immersive Bootcamp program, and what your focus is in your current career? What are tips you would share with new aspiring developers and engineers alike for digging beyond the surface level of learning and into learning and understanding the knowledge you are teaching in your videos and what you utilize in your day to day workplace? Thanks for your time creating and editing these videos for our benefit. Cheers!

Perfectly concise. Answered my questions.

[myhendry]

Thank you! Excellent Tutorial. Very clear and comprehensive

1. you don't have to install something globally to run "npx something"
2. to avoid extra space you can wrap the value in single quotes, e.g. "set NODE_ENV='development' && otherstuff..."

[atulsharma]

Thanks Bro was confused why undefined was coming in console export $(cat .env) works like charm
But a question when i deploy my app to any cloud platform like heroku or any other does it work. means they just ask for environment variables while hosting during production

[priyavenkatachalam]

When i use eval in command prompt it works but when i add in package.json under scripts, i'm getting "eval is not recognized as an internal or external command"..Need ur inputs pls...
