CLI to create environment variables from a predefined template, molding your environment into use.

Usage

Create mold template yaml file. The syntax is to create environment variables with the following format for each.

Note: mold expects an array of environment variables with the following structure.

  # environment variable name.
- name: foo
  # environment variable value. Type should match the `type` field.
  value: "bar"
  # type of the `value` field. Available types: string | number | boolean
  type: string
  # whether the variable is required or not. If required is true, then mold will ask to fill the value.
  required: false
  # tags are used to filter environment variables. An OR expression will be applied to these tags.
  # List syntax can also be used to define tags.
  tags: []

The following command line options are available for mold.
