Bash: adding a key/value pair to an existing config file

Question

I have an existing config config.ini file with the following content:

VALUE_A=a
VALUE_B=b

Using Bash, I'd like to add a new key-value pair VALUE_C=c to get the following:

VALUE_A=a
VALUE_B=b
VALUE_C=c

Is there a concise way to do this with Bash (ideally a one liner)?

`echo VALUE_C=c >> config.ini`? – Justinas Jun 29 '22 at 13:59 — Justinas, Jun 29 '22 at 13:59
