is read and overrides all previously set values.
In other words, when developing locally, edit functions/.env.local
. If you wish to modify the
production settings, edit functions/.env
(and redeploy).
There is one exception: USE_FIREBASE_EMULATORS
, which is only in .env.local
and used for the
tests and the admin tools.
