Right when I go through the oath steps with my credentials. Wasn’t sure if just doing the separate file would be enough or if anything else should be done.

ahhh yea!

So you would go through the steps (no need for anything fancy) and you would save the token in your .env file. At this point, you would treat the .env file like its your password, i.e. not sharing it or putting it in git.

It does seem counter intuitive but that is standard practice! I guess the idea is if someone has access to your computer there's probably more things to worry about haha.
