## 🌍 Platform Support

EnvGuard supports the following platforms:

- **macOS** (Intel & Apple Silicon)
- **Linux** (x64)
- **Windows** (x64)

## 📁 How It Works

- **`.envguard/` Directory**: All environment files are stored in this hidden directory
- **Active Environment**: The root `.env` file is always your active environment
- **Auto-Sync**: Any changes to `.env` are automatically saved to the active environment
- **Environment Usage**: `envguard use` copies the selected environment to `.env`
- **Active Tracking**: `envguard use` tracks the current environment in `.envguard/.active`
- **Status Checking**: `envguard status` shows which environment is currently active
- **Validation**: Always validates the active `.env` against `.env.example`
- **Isolation**: Each environment is completely isolated and independent

## 🛠️ Development Workflow

```bash
# Set up your project environments
envguard create -e development --from-current
envguard create -e staging 
envguard create -e production --from-current

# Work with different environments - edit .env normally!
envguard use development     # Switch to development
# Edit .env in your favorite editor...
envguard status             # Auto-saves changes, shows current environment
envguard                    # Auto-saves changes, validates environment

envguard use production     # Auto-saves dev changes, switches to production
envguard status             # Confirm you're in production
envguard                    # Validate before deployment
```

## 🐛 Troubleshooting
