When initializing a project with

meltano-cloud

, should there be an

.env

file?

Hi @marieke, it's not required

What would be the method of running taps locally for testing without publishing creds to github?

Oh, you'd use

meltano run

or

meltano invoke

for that. If you initialized your meltano project with

meltano init

, the .gitignore file should be ignoring your local

.env
