Build Your First NestJS Application

Matthew Shirey

This instruction, near the beginning, under “Create Your NestJs Application”, makes absolutely no sense:

"Now you can create a new folder in your root directory called .env. Add the following values to it."

Could someone please clarify? Does this literally mean to create a folder called “.env”, if so… then what files go into it to hold the values listed? If not, do we just create a FILE called “.env” and add the values to it?

Second question: Is there a repo with the code for all of this? If there was, it would definitely clear up any issues with the instructions.
