Whilst this feature exists in the Vercel CLI, it is not easy to do if you are just using the Vercel admin. I mocked this up as part of the original github issue, just a simple button with a dropdown to allow you to select the `.env` file to download.  Ebrahim Ramadan (@ebrahim-ramadan) · 2024-10-02 they say `It is actually imeplemented just install the vercel package and link to the project then you can download the file right away`. Amy Egan (@amyegan) · 2024-10-02 Thanks for sharing this idea, @aaronlayton! The current recommendation is to use the CLI [`vercel env pull [file]`](https://vercel.com/docs/cli/env#exporting-development-environment-variables) command as you saw in the original issue on GitHub. I've shared your feedback internally and will circle back with any comments. Amy Egan (@amyegan) · 2024-10-02 If you use [`vercel dev`](https://vercel.com/docs/cli/dev) to run projects locally, then you can pull a copy into the `.vercel` directory using [`vercel pull`](https://vercel.com/docs/cli/pull). But that still requires using the CLI. :smile: This feature request would add a button in the UI for people who prefer that instead of terminal commands.

[/quote] Yes please, many people are already asking in the GH issue linked by OP.
