My preferred approach to this is:
1. Have a script that defines environment variables your app uses, and name that script ~/.bashrc, user accounts are cheap and provide an excellent way to have isolated environments.
2. Check an example copy into the project itself. The application does not source this script itself. This documents the dependencies of the app.
Disclaimer: I've never deployed on anything that wasn't unix-like.
