We need to create a library that can load environment variables from .env files. This will allow for easier configuration management across different environments.

Tasks

• Create a new library/module for handling .env files
• Implement core functionality to read and parse .env files
• Add support for different .env file formats (e.g. KEY=value, export KEY=value)
• Implement error handling for malformed .env files
• Create documentation with usage examples
• Write unit tests to ensure proper functionality
