Updated file recommended for use when using .env files to manage environment variables for the application.
Previously, the recommended file was
.env.local, but if values added here would be overridden by.env.prodif present. It might be uncommon that someone would use a combination of.envand.env.prod, but it can't be assumed that it isn't the case. Using.env.prod.localis always going to be the last file processed by the dotenv component by default.It might be even better to not reference "prod" directly in
.env.prod.localand instead say.env.<env>.local, but prod is explicitly referenced elsewhere in this section/page. So I left the explicit reference.
