Zulip client should detect the presence of a zuliprc in $PWD.
Reading from ~/.zuliprc forces the number of account to be 1. The other alternative, i.e. having to type the API key in a command line is not secure (this leaves trails in the history). Additionally, having a local and global config has been practiced by npm for a while.
If this is to be implemented, another consideration is whether to make the zuliprc visible or not.
note: zulip-terminal has already implemented this local config detection. See also bridge_with_matrix.
We already support just having users pass the path to a .zuliprc file, right?
Huh, yeah, I could have used that instead of passing the API key, but again, it is more convenient if the client anticipates that .zuliprc is in the current directory. So the remaining argument is for convenience and that npm does it.
