Notes:

• The .env.*.local files are for local overrides of environment-specific settings. We assume that they're created by the deployment process. They can contain sensitive information like credentials or tokens. They are loaded first, so they will override settings in the shared files. They should never be checked into the repository.
• The .env.local file is loaded in development and production; never in test. It should never be checked into the repository.
• The .env.* files are shared environment-specific settings. They should not contain sensitive information like credentials or tokens. They should always be checked into the repository.
• The .env file is loaded in all environments. It should not contain sensitive information like credentials or tokens. It is loaded last, so all other files will override any settings. It should always be checked into the repository.
