Add additional notes about `.env` and `.copier-answers.yml` not being in `.gitignore` by default

Open tylermilner opened this issue 4 months ago • 0 comments

Based on previous discussions (#724, #1119, #383, #218, #128, #122), it's clear that we don't want to go ahead and add files containing secrets (e.g. .env, .copier-answers.yml) to the template's .gitignore by default.

This PR surfaces that information to the main README.md. Hopefully, this will help make that decision more visible to those getting started with the project and reduce additional issues/discussions opened on the topic.
