No .env file in repli.it directory

Tell us what’s happening:
I can’t find the .env file to store my uri, password, etc. Were we supposed to create this file and I missed that step? Where should the file go in the directory if we should create it?

Your code so far
I have passed the other tests, but I don’t see the .env file in the directory so I can’t edit variables inside of it.

Hello and welcome to the freeCodeCamp community~!

The .env file goes into the root directory of the project. This is what your file structure should look like:

Thank you. So I guess we are supposed to create it ourselves. No problem but I think this could be explicitly stated as a necessary step.
