Env Variable Prefix Grouper

Long .env files hide relationships. The Env Variable Prefix Grouper sections a file by prefix — NEXT_PUBLIC_, VITE_, REACT_APP_, DB_, and any other PREFIX_ — so every group of variables sits under its own header.

Groups and keys sort alphabetically by default (each togglable), comments travel with their keys, and unprefixed variables collect under a GENERAL section. The result is a configuration file you can navigate like a table of contents.

• Prefix sections: header per first-underscore group.
• GENERAL section: unprefixed keys stay visible.
• Sort groups: alphabetical A-Z, togglable.
• Sort within groups: keys ordered, togglable.
• Headers on/off: optional section markers.
• Comments travel: docs stay with keys.
• Copy or download: ready to save.
• Private: fully client-side.

1. Paste your .env or load the sample.
2. Choose sorting and header options.
3. Click Group. The sectioned file appears.
4. Copy it into your project.

Example 1 — Front-end repos. NEXT_PUBLIC_, VITE_, and REACT_APP_ variables are separated so client-bundled config is easy to review.

Example 2 — Monolith config. A large file is sectioned by DB_, REDIS_, AWS_, and SMTP_ groups.

Example 3 — Onboarding map. New engineers read the section headers as a table of contents.

Example 4 — CI pipelines. Staging pipelines consume grouped files where each section maps to a deployment step.

• Navigable: sections at a glance.
• Complete: GENERAL catches everything.
• Deterministic: stable ordering.
• Comment-safe: docs preserved.
• Private: nothing uploaded.
