Easily manage your local and Vercel deployment environment variables for local, development, preview, and production.
vercel-env-create is a Node.js script that scans your project for all referenced process.env variables and creates separate .env files each environment in the root of your project's directory.
This makes it easy to manage your local development and test environments, as well as each of your Vercel deployment environments (development, preview, and production).
