chore: ignore every .env variant, not one at a time - #407
Merged
Conversation
.gitignore covered .env and .env.backup but not .env.bak, .env.local or .env.old. A .env.bak containing populated OpenAI, Anthropic and Google keys sat in a local stash since 2026-07-13, untracked and one `git add -A` away from being committed. Replace the one-at-a-time entries with a glob and negate the committed .env.example template.

.gitignorecovered.envand.env.backupbut not.env.bak,.env.local, or.env.old.This surfaced concretely: a
.env.bakcontaining populated OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google keys has sat in a local stash inOpenAdaptsince 2026-07-13. It is untracked, on no remote, and absent from disk, so nothing leaked. But it was onegit add -Afrom being committed, and the existing.env.backupline shows this was already patched by hand once before after a similar near-miss.Replaces the one-at-a-time approach with
.env.*and negates.env.exampleso the committed template stays tracked. Verified in each repo:.env.bakis now ignored and.env.exampleis not.Applied to all six repos that had the same gap.
