Add env var user and pass to .bashrc #42

Open qmacro opened 2 days ago

Participants were starting new shells (new terminal sessions) and losing any explicitly set BTP_USERNAME and BTP_PASSWORD values, in Codespace-based or Dev Container (without devcontainer.env) based contexts.

Might be a good idea to get the participants to add the export ... lines to the end of $HOME/.bashrc instead / as well so the env vars are present in all new shells.

For the devcontainer setup user can and should add the credentials to the devcontainer.env file. These credentials are then available in the container for all Terminal sessions and I would highly recommend this.

In case of a local setup (or if participants used the non-env devcontainer) I would recommend to put the credentials in a .env file and either execute the export $(xargs <.env) command in bash or add this export command in the .bashrc.I would not put the password directly into .bashrc.
