Important: Environment Variables and Pipes
When using environment variables in commands with pipes, always wrap the command in bash -c '...' and keep the pipe outside. This ensures proper variable substitution:
# Good - wraps curl in bash -c, pipe is outside
bash -c 'curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ${QIITA_ACCESS_TOKEN}" https://api.qiita.com/api/v2/users'
# Bad - environment variable with pipe causes issues
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ${QIITA_ACCESS_TOKEN}" https://api.qiita.com/api/v2/users
