In executing module 1, I was unable to execute terraform init with the following
smieszny@penguin ~/g/c/01-Getting-Started> terraform init
Initializing the backend...
Error: storage.NewClient() failed: dialing: google: could not find default credentials. See https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/application-default-credentials for more information.
I solved this by running
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=$GOOGLE_CLOUD_KEYFILE_JSON

Hey @adamthetownkrier, thanks for opening and apologies for the delay. I'll make a note to export the extra variable, and also guide users to using application default credentials.
