Keys deleted from .env.example when not in .env

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
