E.S.P. (Environment Syncing & Purge) 🛡️
===========================================

[](#esp-environment-syncing--purge-️)

### **"Too lazy to synchronize your .env manually? Let E.S.P. do the dirty work."**

[](#too-lazy-to-synchronize-your-env-manually-let-esp-do-the-dirty-work)

E.S.P. is a lightweight CLI utility built for developers who want a clean project structure without the manual chore. It keeps your local environment perfectly aligned with your `.env.example` template—adding what's missing, preserving what's yours, and purging what's junk.

---

🚀 Why E.S.P.?
-------------

[](#-why-esp)

In a fast-paced team, `.env.example` files change constantly. Manually tracking down missing keys or deleting old ones is a waste of your coding time.

- **Zero-Leak Security:** Terminal reports only show keys. Your sensitive passwords and tokens stay hidden.
- **Auto-Injection:** New keys in the template? E.S.P. adds them to your `.env` with their default values automatically.
- **Orphan Purging:** Cleans up "ghost" variables that no longer exist in the project template.
- **Safety First:** Automatically creates a `.env.old` backup before any write operation.
- **PHP 7.4+ Optimized:** Designed to work smoothly in both legacy and modern PHP environments.

---

📦 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

Install the package via Composer:

```
composer require lethalwarrior/esp
```

If you want to use it across all your projects in your workstation, install it globally:

```
composer global require lethalwarrior/esp
```

---

🛠️ Usage
--------

[](#️-usage)

Simply run the command from your project root:

```
php vendor/bin/esp
```

**Available Flags**

📈 How it works
--------------

[](#-how-it-works)

E.S.P. follows a "Template-First" philosophy:

1. Read: It scans your `.env.example` for the master structure.
2. Match: It looks for those keys in your current `.env`.
3. Preserve: If a key exists in your local `.env`, that value is kept.
4. Default: If a key is missing locally, it takes the default value from the example file.
5. Purge: Any key found in your `.env` that is not in the template is removed to keep things clean.
