Show, set and delete env vars in your .env remote file with Capistrano 3.

Add these lines to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'dotenv'  # if you haven't added it, already
gem 'capistrano-dotenv-tasks', require: false

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install capistrano-dotenv-tasks

Require it in your Capfile:

require 'capistrano/dotenv/tasks'

Make the .env file a file that is shared between releases by adding one of the following lines to your config/deploy.rb script:

append :linked_files, '.env'  # for capistrano >= 3.5
set :linked_files, fetch(:linked_file, []).push('.env')  # for capistrano < 3.5

Then, access the capistrano rake tasks to edit your remote .env file from the cap command.

$ cap production config:show

$ cap production config:set VARNAME=value

$ cap production config:remove[VARNAME]

Or multiple at once:

$ cap production config:remove[VARNAME1,VARNAME2]
