Can I use this tool for multiple frameworks in one session?

The generator allows you to select one framework preset per use, but you can run it multiple times to create .env files for different stacks as needed.

What if I need variables not covered by the presets?

You can manually add or edit variable names and values after the template is generated, giving flexibility beyond the default presets.

Is the generated .env file ready to paste into my project immediately?

The output includes placeholder values and comments; you will need to replace the placeholders with your actual API keys and credentials before deploying.

Does the tool create .env.example files as well?

Yes, the generator produces both .env and .env.example files, which is helpful for sharing project configuration without exposing sensitive data.
