Protect Your .env Files Like a Pro
Short summary
EnvGuard is a VS Code extension that prevents deployment failures by detecting missing environment variables across .env files. Features include side-by-side comparison, multi-framework support (Node.js, React, Laravel, Spring Boot, .NET), and click-to-navigate error locations. All processing is local with no telemetry, external requests, or accounts—privacy comes first.
