+# Share Development Environment Variables Via CLI
+
+[Vercel](https://vercel.com/)'s web UI as well as it's CLI make it easy to
+store and manage environment variables for your different environments. It is
+also safe because it encrypts them.
+
+You and your team can safely access the environment variables for the
+development environment with the following CLI command.
+
+```
+$ vercel env pull
+```
+
+Assuming you have already connected with and authenticated yourself for the
+current project, this command will fetch the env vars and write them to the
+`.env` file.
+
+If the env vars are ever updated, you can run the command again and it will
+rewrite the local file.
