Answer 1

.env files are hidden by Netbeans. To show them do this:

Tools > Options > Miscellaneous > Files

Under Files Ignored be the IDE is Ignored Files Pattern:

The default is

^(CVS|SCCS|vssver.?\.scc|#.*#|%.*%|_svn)$|~$|^\.(?!(htaccess|git.+|hgignore)$).*$

Add env to the excluded-not-excluded bit

^(CVS|SCCS|vssver.?\.scc|#.*#|%.*%|_svn)$|~$|^\.(?!(env|htaccess|git.+|hgignore)$).*$

Files named .env now show.
