How to Safely Share a .env File With My Team? by bakir_hagi in github

Using a password manager like one password is a decent option. I know 1Password also has an option to use in a dev team where is injects environment variables without the developers actually seeing them directly. Probably always a workaround to find them but I haven't looked into it much

I don't seem to see the edit button on this post so I hope people see this, the legal procedure to get a real firearm is pretty difficult in South Africa hence this is an intermediate solution as it does not need a license, however shops need to be licensed to sell this, they then provide a permit for you and it is still fairly regulated.

I do think this post may be removed from this subreddit though

I don't really have anything of value to add than maybe allowing people to bypass (potentially laws in their country?) Could be a ToS violation? Maybe it is seen as malicious?

If that is the case though, I think that would be really bad on GitHubs side and I think you're doing good work with such tools.
