This is mostly just useful for a local dev environment.
In CI, there's no way to have a .env file available unless it's stored in version control (e.g.
.env.dev,.env.prod, etc) which works as long as you're not storing secrets in there.If you're using a secret-manager like AWS Secrets Manager or the self-hosted Hashicorp Vault project, you should just load your secrets directly into your CI environment from your secret manager before building the React project (e.g. with
yarn build).
