Error: "scope is not required for group variables"
Problem to solve
As a user of gitlab with multiple repositories under a single group, I want to set a ci/cd file variable containing aws credentials at the group level with certain environment scope so that this variable can be used by deployments script in the child git repositories
Proposal
Run command like this: cat creds.bash | glab var update -p --scope prod -g theGroup -t file THE_VAR
Further details
We used to set these at the repository level repeatedly but prefer to set it once at the top level and have it become visible in the child repositories.
