Please create a .htaccess file where you have .env file and write the code as shown below:

# STRONG HTACCESS PROTECTION

 order allow,deny
 deny from all
 satisfy all

Then try to hit the .env file from url and it will not be available and show codes inside.

If you want to remove it from github.

Please create new file .gitignore on the same directory.

and add line

.env
