Deployed custom application is not working due to .env file

[JiyaAgrawal20]

I created a custom application for commercetools merchant centre and deployed it on vercel. I am using a .env file for localhost and vercel environment variables for the deployed version.

Now my issue is that the deployed version is not working if my github repo-main branch does not contain the same .env file even though the application is able to pull data from the vercel environment variables.

I am using useApplicationContext for pulling each variable from .env file. I am defining variables in custom-application-config.mjs file inside additionalEnv object like this :
`additionalEnv: {

authUrl: process.env.CTP_AUTH_URL,

apiUrl: process.env.CTP_API_URL,

projectKey: process.env.CTP_PROJECT_KEY,

clientSecret: process.env.CTP_CLIENT_SECRET,

clientId: process.env.CTP_CLIENT_ID,

scopes: process.env.CTP_SCOPES,

},`

I don't want to push my .env file to main branch or the github repo at all, but the application is not working without it.
