<p>Today's post is half a quick note, half public shaming. In other words, it is a reminder to be very careful with OAuth tokens and passwords.</p>
<p>As part of moving to emacs, I starting using the incredibly useful <aclass="reference external"href="https://github.com/defunkt/gist.el">gh.el</a>.
When you first use it, the extension saves either your password or an OAuth token in your .gitconfig file.
This is cool and convenient, unless you <aclass="reference external"href="https://github.com/balkian/dotfiles">happen to be publishing your .gitconfig file in a public repo</a>.</p>
<p>So, how can you still share your gitconfig without sharing your password/token with the rest of the world?
Since Git 1.7.0, you can <aclass="reference external"href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1557183/is-it-possible-to-include-a-file-in-your-gitconfig">include other files in your gitconfig</a>.</p>
