secrethub: Store a value supplied on `stdin` as a new or updated secret.

echo

$ echo "${secret_value}" | secrethub write ${path-to-secret}

try on your machine

This command is used to write a value to a specific secret path using the SecretHub command-line tool.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

echo "${secret_value}": The echo command is used to output the value of the secret_value variable. The secret_value is presumably a sensitive value or secret that you want to write to SecretHub.
|: The pipe character | is a command-line operator that redirects the output of the preceding command (echo "${secret_value}") as input to the following command (secrethub write ${path-to-secret}).
secrethub write ${path-to-secret}: This is the secrethub write command from the SecretHub command-line tool. It is used to write the value piped from echo to the specified secret path denoted by ${path-to-secret}. ${path-to-secret} is a placeholder for the actual path to the secret where you want to write the value.

In summary, this command takes the value stored in the secret_value variable, pipes it to the secrethub write command, and writes that value to the specified secret path in SecretHub.
