have I done a dumb thing. I've added loading of a

.env

file to the pants bootstrapper.

if [[ -f ".env" ]]; then 
  warn "Loading .env file" 1>&2
  export $(cat .env | xargs)
fi

feels like it's a cheap way to load the contents of a .env file every time its needed.

In recent version of the bootstrap script it does this already, no need to patch it then. ;)
