+# java-dotenv 
+
+
+Dotenv is a zero-dependency module that loads environment variables from a `.env`. Storing configuration in the environment separate from code is based on The Twelve-Factor App methodology.
+
+**Note:** Java does not provide a way to set environment variables on a currently running process. Thus, once `java-dotenv` is configured, you can use the `dotenv.get("...")` API to get environment variables, instead of `System.getenv(...)`.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Create a `.env` file
+
+```
+# formatted as key=value
+MY_ENV_VAR1=My first env var with dotenv
+MY_EVV_VAR2=My second env var
+```
+
+### Kotlin
+#### Configure dotenv-java 
+Configure `dotenv-java` once in your application.
+
+```kotlin
+    val dotenv = Dotenv
+            .configure()
+            .withDirectory("./src/test/resources")
+            .ignoreIfMalformed()
+            .build()
+```
+
+#### Get an environment variable
+Note, environment variables specified in `.env` take precedence over those configured in the actual environment.
+
+```
+	dotenv["MY_ENV_VAR1"]
+```
+
+### Java
+#### Configure dotenv-java
+Configure `dotenv-java` once in your application.
+
+```java
+    Dotenv dotenv = Dotenv
+            .configure()
+            .withDirectory("./src/test/resources")
+            .ignoreIfMalformed()
+            .build()
+```
+
+#### Get an environment variable
+Note, environment variables specified in `.env` take precedence over those configured in the actual environment.
+
+```
+	dotenv.get("MY_ENV_VAR1")
+```
