How to keep dev secrets
Raw
dev-secret-best-practice.md

Instead of always running source .env before running yarn, you can add your dev secrets like NPM_TOKEN or OPEN_AI_API_KEY to a global dev environmental variable file on your machine (e.g. dev.env) then add this to your .bashrc to source it on startup:

# dev.env
export NPM_TOKEN=<create one in npm settings>
# bashrc
source ~/dev.env

Remember to source .bashrc in .bash_profile:

# bash_profile
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
  source ~/.bashrc
fi
