Not sure I’d use this. Might be fun to develop, but what’s wrong with a text file you copy to your bashrc or whatever?

That works too. There are just a lot of tiny cognitive humps to get over when you try to manage env variables manually.
1. Find the text file in the password manager 2. Most people will not be fully conscious of which shell they're using and where's the RC file for that shell, and what variables already exist in your system that you want to keep Vs which ones you want to replace.
I built this because I'd use this just to save me some mental energy. It's obviously possible to solve this in other ways as well.
