This is an extremely simple check that makes sure we don't accidentally commit a file named
.env
even if it doesn't have any secrets. Literally all that it does is look for a file named.env
and fails if it finds one.security considerations
This ought to help us keep a little safer, even if we don't actively use
.env
files.
