Actually, they are not applied. This is a tool that helps you manage them, you can see it as a replacement of .env files.
> `envelope check` could be replaced with a CURRENT_ENV environment variable in an .env file
Can you elaborate more on this? I've never used that tbh and I'm interested

The point of .env files is for tools (shells or libraries like dotenv) to read the file and actually use them. How do you do that with your tool, considering it uses a custom format? > Can you elaborate more on this? I've never used that tbh and I'm interested There is nothing special, just define a variable in .env, and then either echo it manually, or change your shell prompt to apply it.
