This PR adds the possibility for persistent override of local dev environment variables with ".env" file.
A contributor can now store the environment variables with respective values in the
.env
file at the local repository root:cat .env # .env: LOG_LEVEL=info LOG_FORMAT=json
Overrides done this way can persist between terminal sessions and can be used as a single point of configuration for development in terminal and IDE of choice. This removes the need to set environment variables separately for terminal and IDE, the experience remains consistent.
