+## `env.Getenv`
+
+**Alias:** `getenv`
+
+Exposes the [os.Getenv](https://golang.org/pkg/os/#Getenv) function.
+
+This is a more forgiving alternative to using `.Env`, since missing keys will
+return an empty string.
+
+An optional default value can be given as well.
+
+#### Example
+
+```console
+$ gomplate -i 'Hello, {{env.Getenv "USER"}}'
+Hello, hairyhenderson
+$ gomplate -i 'Hey, {{getenv "FIRSTNAME" "you"}}!'
+Hey, you!
+```
