📝 Best Practices

✅ DO:

• Use .env.local for local development (not committed to git)
• Use .env.production for production-specific variables
• Use .env.test for testing environments
• Keep backups of your .env files (CLI creates them automatically)
• Use descriptive variable names for multiple databases

❌ DON'T:

• Don't commit .env files with real credentials to git
• Don't use the same database for development and production
• Don't forget to add .env* to your .gitignore

🔒 Security

.gitignore:

.env
.env.local
.env.*.local
.env.backup

.env.example (commit this):

# Database Configuration
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/dbname
