Setting up and Using Environments with htaccess

.htaccess

# This `.htaccess` snippet does the following:
# 1. Create two environments called staging and development based on the host name
# 2. Set up ht authentication only on the stage server (`Deny from env=staging`)
# 3. Rewrite all requests to the main domain (www.mysite.com) if we’re not on either the development nor staging environment and the host doesn't already equal the main domain
