There are a number of Data Commons-specific parameters and secrets defined in the credentials.env file. The example file now shows how these parameters can be accessed using the env_var functionality of YAML files. This has the benefit that when a user is managing a number of dbt projects over a period of time, they won't have to update things like the jwt_token several times every few days (which gets old quickly). It has the nice side effect that the profiles.yml file no longer contains any secrets.
