# Read environment variables

The current environment variables can be accessed via `process.env`.

```ts index.ts icon="https://mintcdn.com/bun-1dd33a4e/JUhaF6Mf68z_zHyy/icons/typescript.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=JUhaF6Mf68z_zHyy&q=85&s=7ac549adaea8d5487d8fbd58cc3ea35b" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}
process.env.API_TOKEN; // => "secret"
```

***

Bun also exposes these variables via `Bun.env`, which is an alias of `process.env`.

```ts index.ts icon="https://mintcdn.com/bun-1dd33a4e/JUhaF6Mf68z_zHyy/icons/typescript.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=JUhaF6Mf68z_zHyy&q=85&s=7ac549adaea8d5487d8fbd58cc3ea35b" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}
Bun.env.API_TOKEN; // => "secret"
```

***

To print all currently-set environment variables to the command line, run `bun --print process.env`. This is useful for debugging.

```sh terminal icon="terminal" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}
bun --print process.env
```

```txt theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}
BAZ=stuff
FOOBAR=aaaaaa
<lots more lines>
```
