Stop using .env files!

The use of `.env` files for storing environment variables has become popular among developers, but it also presents several security and productivity issues. These include storing sensitive secrets unencrypted locally, syncing with team members without proper security measures, and not being able to control access to secrets. To address these problems, various solutions like secrets managers have been developed, but many are either too simplistic or cumbersome to set up and manage. A new open-source solution called Infisical has emerged as a scalable and end-to-end encrypted platform for managing environment variables, enabling developers to easily sync secrets across teams and infrastructure with a minimal setup.
