AWS SDK Load Config

Occasionally I was getting this random error when running Terraform.

╷
│ Error: error configuring Terraform AWS Provider: no valid credential sources for Terraform AWS Provider found.
│ 
│ Please see https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws

Here’s the fix. Place this in your ~/.bash_profile.

export AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG=1

This forces Terraform to use both config and credentials file.

Git Bash Path

Here’s how to add or edit the PATH in Git Bash. Edit your bash_profile.

vi ~/.bash_profile

Set your path by adding the new path at the end. 

PATH="/c/WINDOWS/system32:/c/Users/firstname.lastname/google-cloud-sdk/bin"

The example path listed above is truncated for brevity.
