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?

Solution

There are separate env files, but basically you can use

.env.development.local

.env.development.local

for development tokens/secrets, and

.env.production.local

.env.production.local

for production ones. They're not pushed because

.gitignore

.gitignore

: https://github.com/sapphiredev/gemboard/blob/main/.gitignore#L24-L27

The reason why the extra files work (when

dotenv

dotenv

wouldn't load further than just

.env

.env

) is because the project uses

@skyra/env-utilities

@skyra/env-utilities

(

dependencies

dependencies

package.json

package.json

), which loads them, more information on the package's README.
