How to push incomplete .env file to repo?
https://github.com/sapphiredev/gemboard/blob/main/src/.env -> Wondering how this environment file is easily pushed with the token removed (i assume) automatically. Is there a hook/gitignore to setup to automatically remove specific tokens from the environment file or is there a separate .env.local file that is excluded from the repo?

There are separate env files, but basically you can use
.env.development.local for development tokens/secrets, and .env.production.local for production ones. They're not pushed because .gitignore: https://github.com/sapphiredev/gemboard/blob/main/.gitignore#L24-L27
The reason why the extra files work (when dotenv wouldn't load further than just .env) is because the project uses @skyra/env-utilities (dependencies in package.json), which loads them, more information on the package's README....2 Replies
