cli-sedHow can I use cli sed to configure credentials?


The sed command line utility can be used to configure credentials in a text file. sed is a stream editor that allows you to search for and replace strings in a file.

For example, to replace the username and password strings in a file called credentials.txt, you could use the following command:

sed -i 's/username/myusername/g; s/password/mypassword/g' credentials.txt

This command will replace all occurrences of username with myusername and password with mypassword in the credentials.txt file.
