Advanced Foundry | NFT Lesson | Testnet Deployment

✋ Hello Blockchianeers, while running the command while deploying the PUG NFT, getting error.

$ make deploy ARGS="--network sepolia"
error: a value is required for '--private-key <RAW_PRIVATE_KEY>' but none was supplied

For more information, try '--help'.
make: *** [Makefile:40: deploy] Error 2

and I modified my Makefile with --account <wallet_Account_Name>. Modified the script to avoid keeping private key in plain text.

deploy: @forge script script/DeployBasicNft.s.sol:DeployBasicNft $(NETWORK_ARGS) --account sepoliaAccount

what would be a better solution to this? 🤔

were you able to deploy with this deploy: @forge script script/DeployBasicNft.s.sol:DeployBasicNft $(NETWORK_ARGS) --account sepoliaAccount?

@EngrPips Nope!, I'm curios to know how we can work with that without revealing the private key in plain text in the .env file while working with testnet deployment.

I think that is what Patrick explained in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQe7cIpaE54
