• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
  • Generate unit testing code for this file.

  • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
  • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
  • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.

194-196: Consider adding a security note about handling the base64 output.

Since this command handles sensitive Google credentials, it would be helpful to add a note about securely handling the base64 output, such as:

base64 -i path/to/your/service-account-file.json
+
+> Note: The resulting base64 string contains sensitive credentials. Ensure you handle it securely
+> and avoid logging or exposing it in insecure locations.

194-194: LGTM! The base64 command update improves reliability.

The addition of the -i flag is correct and important for properly handling input files, especially those containing special characters.
