## Pydantic `Settings`

Fortunately, Pydantic provides a great utility to handle these settings coming from environment variables with <a href="https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/usage/pydantic_settings/" class="external-link" target="_blank">Pydantic: Settings management</a>.

### Install `pydantic-settings`

First, install the `pydantic-settings` package:

<div class="termy">

```console

 *
 * <p>There is a one-to-one correspondence between a <code>Settings</code> instance and a <code>{@value
 * #DEFAULT_SETTINGS_FILE}</code> settings file. Before Gradle assembles the projects for a build, it creates a
 * <code>Settings</code> instance and executes the settings file against it.</p>
