dotenv (.env) format explained: quotes, comments, export
Understand dotenv rules: KEY=value lines, quotes, inline # comments, export prefixes, and how to convert dotenv to JSON safely without uploads.
.env quoting rules
Fix .env quoting rules in .env files: quoting, inline comments, and multiline values, with local conversion to JSON (no upload).
TL;DR: Validate locally, pinpoint the failing spot, apply the minimal fix, then validate again.
Fast no-upload workflow
- Validate the input (strict rules, correct encoding, correct delimiter/quotes).
- Locate the exact position/line reported by the parser or validator.
- Fix the smallest broken part (often a quote, escape, delimiter, or a truncated copy/paste).
- Re-validate and only then convert/export.
