What the environment page does

The environment variables page scans the current workspace for .env-style files and helps you manage them safely.

Current capabilities

From Project Settings → Environment Variables, you can:
  • scan the workspace for env files
  • open a file and inspect variables
  • reveal or hide sensitive values
  • edit variables inline
  • compare env files within a folder
  • detect env files that are not gitignored
  • add exposed files to .gitignore

Why this matters

Aiola treats env safety as part of project operations, not an external concern. The page is built to catch common mistakes such as:
  • secrets committed accidentally
  • mismatched env files across environments
  • stale local values
Run a scan after:
  • cloning a new repository
  • adding Analytics, Feedback, or App Logs
  • changing deployment secrets
If Aiola warns that an env file is not ignored by Git, fix that before continuing.
