Whats the issue here should we have to add Base64 encryption?

Adding a private key in .env files can be annoying as it requires you to remove all new lines, and change it to \n. This way it can be easier.

Please Have a look into this @byawitz

//Import atob
const atob = require('atob');

// Read the base64 encoded private key from the environment variable
const githubPrivateKeyBase64 = process.env._APP_VCS_GITHUB_PRIVATE_KEY_BASE64;

// Decode the base64 encoded string to get the original GitHub private key
const githubPrivateKey = atob(githubPrivateKeyBase64);

//ready to use
console.log('GitHub Private Key:', githubPrivateKey);
