The parsenv package [1] provides a simpler approach to solve this problem,
instead of launching a process from the user's shell or parsing their shell
configuration files, programs parse a so-called dotenv file which just contains
environment variable mappings. This is done by a multitude of software
already, mostly to simplify deployment tasks where configuration is commonly
performed via environment variables.
