neon env pull writes branch environment variables to .env

Introduced 2026-06-09 · score 0.92

HOW TO USE IT

When you need a local dotenv file populated with a Neon branch’s variables, run `neonctl env pull` from a directory with Neon context. It writes to `.env` if present, otherwise `.env.local`, and preserves other lines.

neonctl env pull

WHY THIS HELPS

Populate a repository's local environment file with variables from a Neon branch.

REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS

  • Version: v2.24.0
  • --file <path>: Write to the specified dotenv file instead of the default selection.
  • --branch <id|name>: Target another branch instead of the branch in the closest `.neon` file.
  • Prerequisite: Authenticate with `neonctl auth` or supply an API key with `--api-key <neon_api_key>`; unauthenticated CLI commands launch browser authentication automatically.
  • Prerequisite: A linked Neon project context is needed to resolve the branch; the branch comes from the closest `.neon` file unless `--branch` is supplied.
  • The operation writes a branch's variables and preserves other lines in the file.
