+    - **`envFile`** { `object` }
+      - **`filePath`** { `string` }: Custom path to .env file to read from (defaults to: `./.env`)

 ## Why
 
-Because sometimes its just too cumbersome passing lots of environment variables to scripts. Its
+Because sometimes it is just too cumbersome passing a lot of environment variables to scripts. It is
 usually just easier to have a file with all the vars in them, especially for development and testing.
 
 **Do not commit sensitive environment data to a public git repo!**
