It might not be when installing btc-rpc-explorer globally (npm install -g).
Without this, running btc-rpc-explorer without .git resulted in:
fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /home/user)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

- configure electrumX servers with the same mechanisms as everything else
- include _PORT and _ELECTRUMX_SERVERS configs in .env-sample
- drop support for overriding configs via app/credentials.js, and use that filename for the new, dynamic, env-based credentials config file
- updated package-lock
- include sample .env file for easy reference
- continue to support key-by-key updating from credentials.js for now
- minor code formatting
- reflect status of BTCEXP_NO_RATES in UI when applicable (hide new exchanged-currency items from display dropdown and hide exchange rate on homepage)
- rename _LOGIN to _BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD for clarity
- tweak README to call out .env-sample
This ensures a unique, hard-to-guess cookie secret for every instance.
Also, renamed from "cookiePassword" to "cookieSecret" to better express
its meaning.
- table responsiveness improvements
- add some shadows for visual depth
- hide radial progress bars on small screens since they're not working properly
- text-wrapping improvement for addresses in tx io details
- cleaner support for handling credentials (new app/defaultCredentials.js has the defaults, git-ignored app/credentials.js overwrites)
- update some dependencies
This makes the protocol (either `tcp` or `tls`) for the electrum server
configurable, to allow communicating with an electrum server without tls
encryption.
