LogOut/ LogIn working as well

Yes will do, thanks for the tip Brian. All the best

here is the error message UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection. This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). (rejection id: 20)

To clarify the second part I'm trying to make the mongo db url an environment variable*

Ok, I figured out some of it, I still need help with the mongodb url. When I try to add it as a secret it works! but when I run the command such as source .env it gives me an error. Something to do with the characters in the string (the & specifically) I'll keep working on this, maybe putting it in a string would do the trick. My application also will not run when I put process.env.Mongodb_url where as the secret mongo db secret works fine. So that's my question, but do I even need to hide the mongo db url if I'm hiding the secret?? Thanks in advance, Brian

Makes sense, but the mongo db url is pretty much useless without the db secret and that made me think that I could leave it in my codebase. I'm actually building my own application right now and mongo db atlas does the trick for what I need. If you have any other tips for me they would gladly be appreciated ? Thanks for responding, Brian!

Restarted Vscode and everything seemed to work fine. I was probably pushing to the wrong branch or some use error (like you said) on my side. Once it was reset I went through the steps carefully and it worked. Thanks for the help, Brian.

One final question, whenever I restart visual studio, my environment variables seem to disappear. Any idea as to what is happening?

Did some research and got a better understanding, I can get my environment variables in the vscode terminal after a restart when I type "source .env" (Like you did in the video) I still haven't figured out if this would be a problem in production?

NVM, I'm all good now.
