env-diff

Compare two .env files — see what's added, removed, or changed without leaking secret values.

Install

pip install env-diff

Usage

env-diff .env.example .env.local

Added (2)
  + NEW_API_KEY
  + FEATURE_FLAG

Removed (1)
  - OLD_SECRET

Changed (1)
  ~ DATABASE_URL

3 difference(s) found

Options

Flag	Description
`--show-values`	Show masked values for changed keys (e.g. `sk****yz`)
`--no-color`	Disable colored output
`-q, --quiet`	Exit code only: `0` = identical, `1` = different

Exit Codes

0 — files are identical
1 — differences found
2 — file not found or error

Why?

Every dev has done diff .env.example .env and accidentally pasted the output somewhere public. env-diff shows you what changed without showing the actual secrets.

Perfect for:

PR reviews ("which env vars changed?")
Deployment checklists
Onboarding ("what do I need to add to my .env?")
CI checks (compare .env.example against required vars)
