Dotenv is a zero-dependency module that loads environment variables from a `.env`. Storing configuration in the environment separate from code is based on The Twelve-Factor App methodology.
Dotenv is a zero-dependency module that loads environment variables from a `.env`. Storing configuration in the environment separate from code is based on The [The Twelve-Factor App](http://12factor.net/config) methodology.

**Note:** Java does not provide a way to set environment variables on a currently running process. Thus, once `java-dotenv` is configured, you can use the `dotenv.get("...")` API to get environment variables, instead of `System.getenv(...)`. `dotenv` should be used to retrieve all environment variables. Those listed in `.env` will override those in the the environment.
