Hi !
I am trying to create a file .env
But the replit says that you can create environment files wth secret tools.
But how?
This is a guide on using secrets in the workspace:

It is easier to use the ui to create secrets, but if you want to edit the json, you may do this:
{
“SECRET_NAME”: “SECRET_VALUE”
}

It is saying make sure the data is valid
yes replace SECRET_NAME and SECRET_VALUE by your desired secret name and value.
I recommend learning how to use json before editing the raw values

If you created a secret in the ui, you can do:
const myToken = process.env.SECRET_NAME
replace SECRET_NAME with the name of the secret you created
Should I write it in front of console.log(process.env.MY_SECRET)
if you just need to print the secret, no reason to defined a constant for it
