How do you make sure you don’t leak your .env while streaming your coding sessions? Is there a VSCode or other IDE extension for it?

dont click on .env file or ALWAYS use test wallet for streaming

doesn't one of the dotenv extension have that included?

1. Use environment variable management tools like Dotenv or Envfile.
2. Add .env to your .gitignore file to prevent version control commits.
3. Utilize IDE extensions like:
    - VSCode: "Environment Variables Manager" or "Dotenv"
    - IntelliJ: "EnvFile" plugin
4. Configure your IDE to exclude .env from code completion and search.
5. Use a virtual environment or containerization (e.g., Docker) to isolate sensitive data.
6. Manually review your stream/video content before sharing.

Remember, it's essential to be mindful of sensitive information exposure during live coding sessions.
