Hi Ivan,
What is the intent here? For example, do you want other users to only execute the code without making any changes to the notebook or potentially not even seeing the code (and the secrets)? or are you expecting other users to take your notebook as a starting point and make their changes?
If it's the former, we are in the process of preparing documentation to provide some guidance. More to come on this in a few weeks.
If it's the latter, the typical approach is what you describe with a `.env` file. As you mentioned, you don't store any secrets in the notebook but expect other users to create their own `.env` file with their own credentials. Typically, you can also commit an example `env` file to the repo to show what is expected in the file.
