bash

sed -E 's/^([A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*)=.*/\\1=/; /^#|^$/!s/ //g' .env | pbcopy

Explanation

sed -E → enable extended regex.
^([A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*)=.* → matches variable assignments; replaces them with just the variable name (\\1=).
^#|^$ → comments or empty lines → left as-is.
pbcopy → pipes the final output to your macOS clipboard.
