Load local .env file for Django settings#22
Merged
Conversation
Adds python-dotenv so `kaplancloud/settings.py` reads a repo-root `.env` on startup, letting local developers run `manage.py` commands without exporting variables into the shell. Ships a minimal `.env.example` so fresh checkouts can scaffold `SECRET_KEY` in one step. Existing env precedence is preserved — shell/container variables still win over the file, so the Docker Compose path is unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
