dotenv-vault Add/Update .env.example on push

As it stands you can pull an existing .env.example file from the vault but you can't push .env.example files to the vault. Would love it if I could add or change the example file with a push.

Hi @SuperKXT,

Thank you for the thought.

We're initially hesitant to do that because it then makes it easier to accidentally change a value to a production value the public might see. That is currently why we require you to enter these by hand from the UI.

I'll leave this sitting here and get others' thoughts. I don't have a strong opinion here but I do want to make sure the DX keeps security risks in mind at all times.

I would recommend definitely if you were to enable push that you have a confirmation making sure users are not pushing sensitive settings within the example, but I get the decision here.
