This crate can be compiled, run, and tested on a local workstation or in controlled automation without surprising consequences. More…


Lib.rs has been able to verify that all files in the crate's tarball, except Cargo.lock, are in the crate's repository. Please note that this check is still in beta, and absence of this confirmation does not mean that the files don't match.

Crates in the crates.io registry are tarball snapshots uploaded by crates' publishers. The registry is not using crates' git repositories, so there is a possibility that published crates have a misleading repository URL, or contain different code from the code in the repository.

To review the actual code of the crate, it's best to use cargo crev open dotenv. Alternatively, you can download the tarball of dotenv v0.15.0 or view the source online.
