A build server can produce it without having to learn specifics about what language will end up consuming the file, it can just output everything that needs to be known.\n\n_Copied from original issue: aspnet/Home#830_"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/aspnet/Configuration/issues/comments/132827407","html_url":"https://github.com/aspnet/Configuration/issues/276#issuecomment-132827407","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/aspnet/Configuration/issues/276","id":132827407,"user":{"login":"divega","id":1253414,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1253414?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/divega","html_url":"https://github.com/divega","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/divega/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/divega/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/divega/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/divega/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/divega/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/divega/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/divega/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/divega/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/divega/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-08-19T23:42:59Z","updated_at":"2015-08-19T23:42:59Z","body":"@atrauzzi I haven't looked at it enough to see if there are differences in the syntax but I think it is possible to achieve something very similar by chaining an `IniConfigurationSource`. You can name the file .env if you care about that, although maybe a `AddUserSecrets()` (see [here](https://github.com/aspnet/UserSecrets/tree/dev/src/Microsoft.Framework.Configuration.UserSecrets)) (which we include in our default project templates) would be a better fit anyway.\r\n\r\nPerhaps I am missing some distinct value that dotenv brings to the table what currently we don't have in  Configuration. Can you please let me know?"}}
