optionally change the file name of ".env"

I have a complex set of environments which meant simultaneously having multiple .env.staging / .env.development / .env.development2 etc.

I would like to the ability to optionally override the file which you load env.

    _loadEnv: function(fileName) {
       if (!fileName) {
             fileName = ".env"
      }
      return dotenv._getKeysAndValuesFromEnvFilePath(fileName);
    },

sorry for revive this trend but my question is: can i name a .env file differently? like idk, environmentFile and then how can i call it? just dotenv.config({path:“rute/to/environmentFile”})

Thank u

You can set it either in javascript via

require('dotenv').config({ path: '/full/custom/path/to/your/.env' })

or by passing it through the command line

DOTENV_CONFIG_PATH=/full/custom/path/to/your/.env node -r dotenv/config your_script.js

Both examples are documented in the README.md
