  I will jump on the obvious error too but will provide some more context:

  You are typing what you hear in: "shouldn't've" which is a double contraction of "should not have"

  "I should not of made this" vs "I should not have made this"

  Shouldn't have*

  That's one of my least favourite errors

  Maybe of interest to someone out there. I'm waiting to get flamed as its totally useless for many many people (I could of solved it with a simple powershell script but in the process I learnt go.. ) - but it solved my problem on my ridiculous Windows machine. Maybe someone else out there..

  Glad you made this - whether it needs to exist or not seems far from relevant as reworking and rethinking things is why we have most of the coolest tools we take for granted :)

  Did you discover anything interesting in the process of building it?

  I base64 decoded CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY and it looks random vs some mock data. Wonder if it's the real key accidentally posted.

  What’s the value prop here vs set -a/+a? That it’s more tolerant of weird variable values?
