Allow usage of mixed file types about env-cmd

[toddbluhm]

Hey @GuillaumeHumbert,

Thanks for the question and input!

First, I would like to say that yes your usage for the .js file is correct.

Now on to your main question. I personally feel that combining them would be bad and somewhat overly complex. I hear what you are saying about committing non-sensitive data and in fact, I actually do that myself.

To clear things up, how I use this lib is simple. I create two .rc files. One is the normal .env-cmdrc that contains all env vars + sensitive vars. The other one is called .env-cmdrc-example. This file is a duplicate of .env-cmdrc except that I don't include the sensitive values (the keys remain in the file, just with an empty string value). I commit the .env-cmdrc-example file and keep the real .env-cmdrc file in my .gitignore.

Then when a new person comes on the project, they just pull down the repo and duplicate the .env-cmdrc-example file to .env-cmdrc. Now they have all the correctly spelled environment variables input for them with the correct values and the only thing they have to do is input their personal sensitive data.

While this approach may not be perfectly DRY, I find it prevents mistakes in missing to define env vars or misspelling env vars. It also helps newcomers to the project know exactly all that needs to be defined for a project to run in any environment. I guess I just don't like splitting up my env vars. I like to see them all defined in one spot. That is definitely a personal preference though.

Having said all of that and putting aside my personal preference, I still don't like the idea of mixing a .env file with a .rc file.

But as I have said on many other support tickets, I am certainly willing to reconsider my stance. If enough people want it, then I certainly will reconsider adding it. I will leave this open for a while to allow others to see it and add their support if they like.

I re-read this again and honestly my position is still the same. I don't see any additional support from others asking for it either. Closing for now.
