"""
This script updates environment variables in a .env file with values from the local environment.
Specifically, it looks for variables set to "GET_FROM_LOCAL_ENV" in the input .env file and replaces them
with the corresponding values from the local environment variables.

Usage:
1. Prepare an input .env file with some variables set to "GET_FROM_LOCAL_ENV".
   Example input .env file (input.env):
   # Example configuration

   API_KEY=GET_FROM_LOCAL_ENV
   DB_PASSWORD=GET_FROM_LOCAL_ENV
   HOST=localhost
   PORT=3080

2. Set the corresponding environment variables in your local environment.
   Example in bash:
   export API_KEY=new_api_key_value
   export DB_PASSWORD=new_db_password_value

3. Run the script, specifying the input and output file paths.
   Example:
   python update_env.py input.env output.env
