+Configure automatic `.env` file loading. By default, Bun automatically loads `.env` files. To disable this behavior:
+
+```toml title="bunfig.toml" icon="settings"
+# Disable automatic .env file loading
+env = false
+```
+
+You can also use object syntax with the `file` property:
+
+```toml title="bunfig.toml" icon="settings"
+[env]
+file = false
+```
+
+This is useful in production environments or CI/CD pipelines where you want to rely solely on system environment variables.
+
+Note: Explicitly provided environment files via `--env-file` will still be loaded even when default loading is disabled.

 ### `console`

 ## Environment Variables
 
-You can also set environment variables in your configuration that affect test behavior:
+Environment variables for tests should be set using `.env` files. Bun automatically loads `.env` files from your project root. For test-specific variables, create a `.env.test` file:
 
-```toml title="bunfig.toml" icon="settings"
-[env]
-NODE_ENV = "test"
-DATABASE_URL = "postgresql://localhost:5432/test_db"
-LOG_LEVEL = "error"
