When pushing this project to GitHub, make sure to:
- Never commit your
.envfile - it contains sensitive credentials - The
.gitignorefile already excludes the.envfile - Make sure new contributors copy the
.env.examplefile to.envand add their own credentials - If you add new environment variables, update the
.env.examplefile without including actual secret values
