there’s a deficiency in git imo. i should be able to commit files that are tracked privately to me inside of public and shared private repos. for example .env files. i want to have them wherever i clone the repo but dont want to leak keys.

One of the nice things about using Vercel is you can push your ENV variables up to it and you can pull them down easily with their cli tool. 

But the problem you identify is a huge pain when trying to use git worktree to have multiple agents on the same codebase.

it’s really a problem every time you clone a repo for the second time, or if you have >1 environment where you run the repo. 

at this point git could perhaps evolve a non proprietary solution to managing env files.
