To ignore the .env file in Git, you can add the file to the .gitignore file in your repository.

  1. Open the .gitignore file in the root directory of your repository.
  2. Add a new line with ".env" to the file.
  3. Save and commit the changes to the .gitignore file.


This will prevent the .env file from being tracked by Git and uploaded to your repository. Make sure to also remove the .env file from the repository if it has already been committed before.
