ee is a CLI tool that brings structure and validation to environment variable management. It enables teams to define, validate, and manage environment variables across different environments with schema-based validation and inheritance support.

• Schema-based validation with type checking
• Support for multiple environments (dev, staging, prod)
• Variable inheritance between environments
• Regex pattern validation
• Default values
• Required field enforcement
• Multiple export formats (.env, JSON, YAML)
• Cross-platform support (Linux, macOS, Windows)
• Editor integration for configuration
• Comprehensive logging system
