This allows for storing host-specific properties and/or secrets in environment variables.
It is recommended to use `variables` (see [config variables](config-file.md#variables))
instead of environment variables unless these contain sensitive information that
shouldn't be versioned in Git.
For example, you can have an `.env` file in the directory where your `config.yaml` lies:
```
## Some secrets
pass="verysecurepassword"
```
If this file contains secrets that should not be tracked by Git,
put it in your `.gitignore`.
You can then invoke dotdrop with the help of an alias
```bash
# when dotdrop is installed as a submodule
alias dotdrop='eval $(grep -v "^#" ~/dotfiles/.env) ~/dotfiles/dotdrop.sh'
# when dotdrop is installed from pypi or aur
alias dotdrop='eval $(grep -v "^#" ~/dotfiles/.env) /usr/bin/dotdrop --cfg=~/dotfiles/config.yaml'
```
The above aliases load all the variables from `~/dotfiles/.env`
(while omitting lines starting with `#`) before calling dotdrop.
