What does this environment variable naming linter check?

It checks key format validity, naming convention mismatches, duplicate declarations, and shell-reserved name conflicts in .env style input.

Can I lint entire dotenv files?

Yes. Paste full dotenv content and the tool parses key names from KEY=VALUE entries.

Can I choose different naming conventions?

Yes. You can validate against UPPER_SNAKE_CASE, lower_snake_case, camelCase, PascalCase, or kebab-case.

Does this tool provide fix suggestions?

Yes. Every naming mismatch includes a suggested normalized key based on your selected convention.

Is my env content private?

Yes. Linting runs locally in your browser and does not require uploading environment values.

Validate keys against UPPER_SNAKE_CASE, camelCase, PascalCase, kebab-case, or lower_snake_case.

Duplicate and Reserved Detection

Catch duplicate declarations and risky system-reserved variable names before deployment.

Identifier Validation

Flags invalid key syntax such as leading digits or unsupported characters.

Auto-Fix Suggestions

Get normalized key naming suggestions for every mismatch to speed up cleanup.

Use Cases

Where env variable naming linting saves engineering and DevOps time

CI Preflight Checks

Lint environment keys in pull requests before merging to prevent naming drift.

Legacy .env Cleanup

Standardize mixed naming styles across old environment files with guided suggestions.

Team Convention Enforcement

Apply one naming style across services and reduce onboarding confusion for new developers.

Security and Runtime Stability

Surface risky reserved names and malformed keys that can break runtime config loading.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers on env key naming validation and convention checks

You can paste full .env content (KEY=VALUE lines), export-prefixed lines, or plain variable keys one per line.

The linter supports UPPER_SNAKE_CASE, lower_snake_case, camelCase, PascalCase, and kebab-case.

Yes. Duplicate declarations are flagged with the original line number so you can resolve accidental overrides quickly.

Some names like PATH or HOME are commonly managed by the shell or runtime environment. Overriding them can lead to hard-to-debug behavior.

Yes. Analysis runs entirely in your browser and no env content is uploaded by this tool.
