@nolan interesting issue I'm having: trying to source the .env.production file with the backup file, but it's not actually a bash file, so i can't run any bash commands in it to stop < or > from performing IO redirection, and for some reason running set -C beforehand doesn't seem to work

got any tips?

@nolan for context, the specific line failing in .env.production is SMTP_EMAIL, which is to say the line:

SMTP_FROM_ADDRESS=Awoo <notifications@awoo.space>

@vahnj Hmmmm yeah I think I stupidly assumed that the .env file was source-able... Maybe there's a better way to do this? Maybe even grep is preferable.

@nolan it's actually a clever abuse of the config file syntax!

It just fails in my specific case, haha. Whenever I get a working version of it I'll pass it your way again
