If you have multiple environment variables, you can substitute them by providing
a path to your environment variables file. By default, the `docker-compose`
command will look for a file named `.env` in the directory you run the command.
By passing the file as an argument, you can store it anywhere and name it
appropriately, for example, `.env.ci`, `.env.dev`, `.env.prod`. Passing the file path is
done using the `--env-file` option:
```shell
docker-compose --env-file ./config/.env.dev up
```
For more information, see the
[Variable substitution](compose-file/index.md#variable-substitution) section in the
Compose file reference.
