Update GitHub secrets environments for deployment #24

Closed amc-corey-cox closed 2 months ago

I can keep all of the information we document in the .env file in the GitHub secrets so they aren't easily lost. I almost lost them in my recent system crash. Even so, it was quite a setback in development. Keeping the secrets well organized here can prevent that.

It turns out that the secrets in GitHub are write only, for security. This actually means they are not a suitable place to keep secrets for the project to prevent them being lost. This will be great for secrets when we have GitHub as part of the deployment process. For now, this isn't a useful solution.
