To place default values in your example .env file, you can simply include the syntax `DEFAULT:<value>` within your secret's comment in Infisical. This will result in the specified value being extracted and utilized as the default.

```bash
$ infisical secrets generate-example-env

## Example 
$ infisical secrets generate-example-env > .example-env
```
