# blossom env_var:show

Show an environment variable

## Usage

    blossom env_var:show --id ID [--reveal]

## Flags

| Flag | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `--id (required)` | Environment variable id |
| `--reveal` | Show variable values in text and JSON output |

Examples:

    blossom env_var:show --id env_var-100
    blossom env_var:show --id env_var-100 --reveal
    BLOSSOM_OUTPUT=json blossom env_var:show --id env_var-100 --reveal

Values are hidden by default, including JSON output. Add `--reveal` to
display them explicitly. This applies to every variable, regardless of its
name. JSON keeps the `value` field with `[hidden]` in place of the value;
scripts that read actual values must pass `--reveal`.

Use `env_var:pull` to export actual values to a dotenv file without printing
them in the terminal. Create, update and push output does not reveal values.
