Imagine just 5 minutes that i would like to get around your strong advice to not use multiple dotenv files :) Imagine just 5 minutes that i would like to have a .env.dist overriden by an optionnal .env Just.. imagine...

How would i do ? 😘😘😘

@nervo you can get around this by using the file() method e.g.

String myDotenv = ".env.dist";
Dotenv dotenv = Dotenv.configure()
//    .directory("/assets") // optionally change the directory
    .filename(myDotenv);  //

@cdimascio correct me if i'm wrong, but in the example you give, only the .env.dist file is loaded, no ?
