Solution: #749 (comment)

Hello,
I can't figure out how to store my Google API private key for use in a now deployment.
The key looks something like:

-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
lines
lines
lines
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----

What I've tried:

• now secret add google-private-key "<full key>"
  • Not possible because of dashes, Secret values with leading dashes are parsed as the incorrect number of args #80
• now secret add google-private-key -b $(echo "<full key>" | base64)
  • Only gives me "[object Object]" in js, see Secret values with leading dashes are parsed as the incorrect number of args #80
• Adding the key to a .env-file and then run with now --dotenv=.env
  • This seems to replace all newlines with whitespace making the auth with the key fail.
  • When running locally using the dotenv node package to set env vars from .env it works, it preserves newlines

How should it be done?
