+**DotEnv.Core.Props** is a file that represents a set of properties that will tell MSBuild to copy the .env files from the project folder to the publish directory.
+
+This .props file **excludes** the following sample .env files:
+- `.env.example`
+- `example.env`
+- `.env.sample`
+- `sample.env`
+- `.env.template`
+- `template.env`
+
+## Installation
+
+Run the following command from the terminal:
+```
+dotnet add package DotEnv.Core.Props
+```
+
+## How to use it?
+
+The .props file does not need to be used directly, simply run the `dotnet publish` command and MSBuild will copy the .env files to the publish directory.
+
+Remember that .env files must follow either of these two conventions:
+- `.env.{name}` (e.g., .env.config).
+- `{name}.env` (e.g., config.env).
+
+Following these conventions is necessary for MSBuild to know which file to copy to the publish directory.
