Use these helper functions to manage Telerik NuGet source configuration.

Get a new api key at https://www.telerik.com/account/downloads/api-keys

Function: configure

Sets a global user environment variable for the Telerik API key and updates/creates nuget.config so credentials use the environment variable instead of a hardcoded secret.

	param(
		[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
		[string]$ApiKey,

	Write-Host "Saved API key in user environment variable '$ApiKeyEnvVarName'."
	Write-Host "Restart your terminal/IDE so new processes can read the updated environment variable."
