I was wondering if there's a way to prevent a .env file from overwriting an existing env var. Consider the following example:
$ cat .env
FOO="using FOO from .env"
$ FOO="Using FOO from shell" honcho run -e .env env | grep FOO
FOO=Using .env.local
Ideally, if FOO is already set, I don't think a .env file should overwrite it, like if the environment variable gets set at runtime in a docker-compose.yml, k8s, or whatever orchestrator may be setting them.
Similarly this would be helpful when passing multiple .env files for different environments for example:
It seems that right now the last file parsed will always take over an environment variable previously set, but it would be nice if it didn't override them.
Hey @nickstenning thanks for this project!
