To keep updated with the latest .env, you should ask for permission to the private .env-repo and have it savely cloned
in the project root as ./.env-repo. This step is only needed for the first time.
To get the latest .env, just run the script:
sync-env.sh
in the project root. Voilà! All .env files are synced.
Similarly, to update the env-repo with the latest local .env, run the following:
upload-env.sh
