Terraform will perform the following actions:

  # null_resource.all will be created
  + resource "null_resource" "all" {
      + id       = (known after apply)
      + triggers = {
          + "PWD"                                 = "/terraform/terraform-provider-environment/examples"
          + "TERM"                                = "xterm-256color"
          + "SHELL"                               = "/bin/zsh"
          + "SHLVL"                               = "1"
          [...]
    }

  # null_resource.encoded will be created
  + resource "null_resource" "encoded" {
      + id       = (known after apply)
