Keeping environment variables out of config file?

[failpunk]

How would I pass environment variables to my node application?

I see how you can pass key value pairs into the config:

But this means you are committing sensitive data to the root of your repo. Is there a way to pull from a .env file outside of the root?

To pass environment variables to your application you can add them as command line parameters to your deployment like this:

coldbrew deploy -E KEY1=value1 -E KEY2=value2
