Could the CLI have an interactive prompt for creds?

Description

Ok this a 2 part question/request.

  1. I'm curious as to why the env.local file was removed. I was having issues with my username/PAT and I found myself having to echo values over and over and this felt a little cumbersome as opposed to just looking at a single file.

  2. For the folks who actually use the CLI it could be nice to have the CLI itself interactively prompt for the creds. I know there are several different commands that are run and this could add some complexity. Just a thought! It would create a really nice user experience.

AFAIK the CLI has never had any support for an env.local file

@dylan-smith the core Octoshift logic did once upon a time. I was curious why we moved away from using it

Can you link to where you are seeing this? Is this a relic of how devs used to test the backend before the CLI existed?
