* added Instructions to env example to allow openclaude to be used system wide
* added suggested .env.example changes
I added the suggested .env.example changes suggested earlier within the pr thread
New contributors had to hunt through README and source files to find
required environment variables. This adds a single reference file at
repo root covering all supported providers with placeholder values,
inline comments, and sensible defaults.
Providers covered:
- Anthropic (default)
- OpenAI
- Google Gemini
- GitHub Models
- Ollama (local)
- AWS Bedrock
- Google Vertex AI
Also includes optional tuning vars: CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_RETRIES,
CLAUDE_CODE_UNATTENDED_RETRY, OPENCLAUDE_ENABLE_EXTENDED_KEYS,
OPENCLAUDE_DISABLE_CO_AUTHORED_BY, API_TIMEOUT_MS, CLAUDE_DEBUG.
Updated .gitignore to add !.env.example exception so the template
is not suppressed by the existing .env.* rule.
Closes#175
