You have to setup a .env file in your homefolder by yourself. It will then be used. You only have to use
--dotenv .env.local in case you want to user any filename but .envI'd recommend just using a single .env file per environment rather than trying to chain them or run a specific file for dev or prod. It'll reduce confusion and the likelyhood of something being overwritten improperly if you just use
.env.
As part of your deploy process you can copy .env.production to .env for example
.env should also be excluded from your version control so that you always have to get the correct version for your correct environment when you're deploying
