I have setup my app-config.yaml to use environment variable substitution (EVS) like bellow:
auth:
environment: development
providers:
gitlab:
development:
clientId: ${AUTH_GITLAB_CLIENT_ID}
clientSecret: ${AUTH_GITLAB_CLIENT_SECRET}
And this works fine when deployed though my CI/CD pipeline. but for local development I have not found a good way to inject environment variables.
I do have an app-config.local.yaml but I would like to avoid having essentially having two copies of `app-config.yaml, one with hardcoded values and the other with the EVS.
What is the best way to load environment variables so that app-config.yaml can read them.
This is a very similar question to How to edit environment variables in Backstage.io? But the question asker never gave an example of how they are actually adding it into their app-config.local.yaml file
tl;dr: I used a .env.yarn file
