Supporting Multiple env files

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I would love to request for a feature enhancement whereas dotenv/config would be able to load multiple env files.

node -r dotenv/config .env .local.env index.js

Would this be possible?

Also take a look at dotenv-org/dotenv-vault

I used to use flow but found it can get a bit confusing. That led to us building out dotenv-vault - among other things.

@motdotla I found dotenv-vault a few days after posting on this issue, I’d agree @hitmands it’s the better solution. Both should hopefully solve the issue though 👍🏻
