Environment Variables
Learn how to configure the environment variables.
We use one global .env file for all applications in the workspace, located in the root of the project.

RESEND_FROM_EMAIL=onboarding@resend.devOnly NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_ENV, NEXT_PUBLIC_DASHBOARD_URL, and NEXT_PUBLIC_MARKETING_URL may use the NEXT_PUBLIC_ prefix.
Never prefix secrets with NEXT_PUBLIC_.
Adding New Environment Variables
Add the variable to the .env file
Add a new key-value pair in the .env file, located in the root of the project.
If it's a public variable used in client-side code, prefix it with NEXT_PUBLIC_.
NEW_ENV_VARIABLE=your-new-variableUpdate turbo.json
Add the new variable to the globalEnv array in turbo.json:
{
"globalEnv": ["NEW_ENV_VARIABLE"]
}Access the variable
You can now access it using process.env.NEW_ENV_VARIABLE.
