Keys deleted from .env.example when not in .env
See original GitHub issueIssue Description
Hi @codeshifu , I have this problem.
Sometimes I keep some keys in .env.example for documentation but not in .env because I use defaults or something.
So, if you have keys in .env.example but not in .env, when you sync they are deleted from .env.example.
Example
.env:
BOTH=1
ENV=0
.env.example:
BOTH=2
EXAMPLE=42
ANOTHER=24
ENV=3
run sync-dotenv then
.env.example:
BOTH=2
ENV=3
The keys EXAMPLE and ANOTHER were deleted.
Thanks

Sorry, I tried again while I was writing a reproducible example and now it’s not happening. I don’t know why. Maybe npm cache.
So, it’s OK, now it’s works.
Thanks
Hi @leandrojdl, this has been resolved in v2.5.0 release. See the docs for usage https://github.com/codeshifu/sync-dotenv#preserving-variables-in-sample-env
