pdm-dotenv: Simplify Your Project's Environment Variable Management
Are you working on a Python project that uses pdm for dependency management and dotenv for local environment variable and secrets management? Do you find it frustrating when CLI tools like pgcli don't automatically pick up your .env file, forcing you to resort to npm install -g dotenv-cli? I've got a more convenient solution for you!
