Problem/Motivation

Local environment variables are not working when the .env-example file is copied as .env.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a copy of the .env-example file and rename it .env
2. Change any or all of the environment variables
3. Run `npm run watch` - where the environment variables should take effect for Browsersync, but do not.

Proposed resolution

Install the NPM package `dotenv` in order to read from local environment variables

Remaining tasks

Install the NPM package `dotenv` in order to read from local environment variables

User interface changes

None

API changes

Install the NPM package `dotenv` in order to read from local environment variables

Data model changes

@jldust - This is ready for your review. I've installed https://www.npmjs.com/package/dotenv to load in variables into the process.env from the .env file. This will allow us to use local environment variables within the Gulp process.

To test, create a copy of the .example-env file and name it ".env". Once you run `npm run watch` Browsersync should pick up your local environment variables: `[Browsersync] Proxying: http://example.lndo.site`
