Came across an issue #138 that also adds the ability to load from a file. I think this could be added with this PR potentially. |

We will want to introduce other operations related to envs: list, delete, export, import from .env file, etc. I think it would be preferable if we already plan for this by having a set subcommand (ie deployctl env set key=value key2=value2)

Ah good to know, I was unsure at first due to the only API I could see was to set (i.e making a PATCH request to the api) but this makes sense.
also with #185 looking to also add option for file would it make sense for us to use the same subcommand? some thing like env set [key=value] and env set --env-file? or better think about merging those later?

The PATCH is also used to remove envs, by setting null as value.

Yes, we definitely want that feature, and I think it makes sense to have it within the env subcommand. However, I wonder if we wouldn't prefer a separate env subcommand, like deployctl env set key=value [keyn=valuen] and deployctl env import [--env-file env-file]. In any case, let's coordinate with @drollinger.
Adding also @kwhinnery to the loop.

I would be happy with this, will check to see if @kwhinnery has any thoughts before implementing my changes as I have time to try and complete this soon

@adoublef I would go ahead and implement deployctl env set key=value and deployctl env import [--env-file env-file].

Have been away from this for a while, wondering if this is still something I can continue or shall close. thanks |
I created a simple subcommand for setting environment variables from the CLI tool. There are a fair different ways that variables can be added but I've chosen one for now. If setting variables from a file would be of interest or setting via a prompt I am happy to alter
