In short

Set up a runtime, package manager, editor and version control. Secrets live in environment variables, never in the repository or a chat. Public-prefixed variables ship to the browser; never put secrets there.

After this lesson you can

  • Set up a runtime, package manager, editor and version control on your own machine
  • Keep secrets in environment variables, never in the repository
  • Recognise the variables that get sent to the browser
