Code Review
This pull request attempts to redact placeholder API keys in JULES_API.md and README.md. However, the changes introduce invalid bash syntax by using a colon instead of an equals sign for the export command. The reviewer correctly identified this syntax error in both files and provided suggestions to fix it.

The bash syntax for exporting an environment variable is incorrect. It uses a colon (:) instead of an equals sign (=), which will result in a syntax error (not a valid identifier) when executed. Additionally, the original value "your-api-key-here" was a placeholder rather than an actual secret.

I found potential secrets in the codebase and redacted them. Please review and rotate these secrets! 🛡️✨
