### Environment Variables
--- 
Most of the delicate data or project-wide variables that are constantly used are stored in a `.env` file. These variables are then managed in both the `config.ts` and the `global.d.ts` (needed to override the default `process.env` behavior) files, which sanitize and check for correct typecasting and existence of the environment variables, throwing an error if not used.

The variables can be accessed by importing the `sanitizedConfig` variable from `config.ts`. This assures that the environment variables are correctly typed, configured and clean for use.

When adding more environment variables, ensure that:

1. Add the variable to the `.env` file.
2. Add the SAME NAME environment variable to the namespace in `global.d.ts`.
3. Add the SAME NAME environment variable to the `Env` and `Config` types and the `getConfig()` function.
4. Import `sanitizedConfig` to desired location for use.
