I was migrating an application and just copied & pasted my .env over. Now I did not realize exactly what I did but after a few minutes wondering why my deployments were failing I noticed I ofcourse overwritten my DB_* credentials and also REDIS_* stuff. But I shouldn't have done that :)

It would be nice if there was a certain little reminder when I overwrite a variable that is being injected. Don't stop me from doing it but a nice visual reminder that I did would be nice.
