Add wildcard so that all .env files are ignored - Python.gitignore
Reasons for making this change:
So that all files starting with .env
are ignored.
Example why this is useful:
With python 3.11 there is now native TOML support, so it is a valid use case to have .env.toml
files.
Additionally, it would be useful if more than one ".env" file is present, like ".env_topic1" for example.
Current status The problem with the current "gitignore" is, that these files are not ignored.
Solution
With the wildcard .env*
they are ignored.
Links to documentation supporting these rule changes: python 3.11 tomlib native support
The Dart gitignore also has the wildcard to ignore all .env* files and from my perspective it would be useful for python too
