George Kalpakas 442f323a32 ci: shorten the display name of init_environment steps that are shown in all jobs (#32998)
The `init_environment` custom command is used in almost all other jobs.
The this is implemented in CircleCI is that the steps of the command are
inlined into the other jobs.

Some of the `init_environment` commands are quite long and (since the
default display name for a step is its command) they clutter the
CircleCI UI. Additionally, multiple related commands are shown as
separate steps, which makes it more difficult to get to the actual steps
of a job.

This commit improves this by:
1. Defining explicit, short names for steps with long commands.
2. Grouping multiple related steps into one.

Encryption

Based on https://github.com/circleci/encrypted-files

In the CircleCI web UI, we have a secret variable called KEY https://circleci.com/gh/angular/angular/edit#env-vars which is only exposed to non-fork builds (see "Pass secrets to builds from forked pull requests" under https://circleci.com/gh/angular/angular/edit#advanced-settings)

We use this as a symmetric AES encryption key to encrypt tokens like a GitHub token that enables publishing snapshots.

To create the github_token file, we take this approach:

  • Find the angular-builds:token in http://valentine
  • Go inside the CircleCI default docker image so you use the same version of openssl as we will at runtime: docker run --rm -it circleci/node:10.12
  • echo "https://[token]:@github.com" > credentials
  • openssl aes-256-cbc -e -in credentials -out .circleci/github_token -k $KEY
  • If needed, base64-encode the result so you can copy-paste it out of docker: base64 github_token
