FEATURE REQUEST: Guide to using .env variables in development

[danielh-official]

I'm trying to make it work, but whenever I run npm run dev, my .env gets ignored. I have dotenv 16.0.3 installed, and I've used dotenv.config(), but it all leads to the same problem.

When I console.log(dotenv.config()), I get an error in the console, like:

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/.env'

My .env file is in the root, and I've placed it in my main.ts (in the root) and other files within different directories. Same result throughout.
