 # ngrok-to-dotenv
 
-This is a ngrok start-up wrapper that uses a dotenv file to get the authtoken and save the https address; it's a node cli tool that you can use with projects that need ngrok. You clone it into your project's folder, and add to the project's package.json a run script to call "cd ngrok-to-dotenv && node ngrok". Be sure to add the folder to your .gitignore and install the one package which is ngrok, using 'npm i' or 'yarn'.
