I have .env files(which has round 300) which I wanted to access env variables in VSTS tasks, (we not planning to use existing variable groups) . I found https://github.com/tonerdo/dotnet-env.

I have nuget restore to this Feed and installed pkg, and from CMD line when I access 

DotNetEnv.Env.Load("./path/to/.env");

I get

The package you find is a .Net Library which should be used in coding like C#, it cannot be called from CMD directly.

To use the env file in VSTS Build, you can add a Power-Shell script task and use powershell to load the env files. For example: Script Smaple

You should configure your project to use dotenv then search upwards through the directories from the assembly path to the root and see if there is a .env, if there is, then load it... it's a shame it isn't the default behavior for dotenv for .net, like other platforms.

Also, you can use the Libraries area of your Pipelines in VSTS/Azure DevOps to specify environment variables, then bind them to the pipeline in question and they will be loaded for your tasks.
