 We enabled remote caching for all our builds/tests for both local development and CI.
 As part of that change we would need to do gcloud auth to read/write from remote cache stored in our BigTable bucket for the local dev builds.
 
+#### For passing GCloud Auth credentials to Bazel
+Create a new .bazelrc.local file with the following content. Also feel free to specify any local overrides to the build/test options here.
+This file is git-ignored.
