Added sharing gitconfig dotfiles

Also added ignored files to pelicanconf. With the previous
configuration, I would get an error with the devserver when using
flycheck in emacs.

Sharing dotfiles

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.
As part of moving to emacs, I starting using the incredibly useful `gh.el <https://github.com/defunkt/gist.el>`_.
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 `happen to be publishing your .gitconfig file in a public repo <https://github.com/balkian/dotfiles>`_.
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 `include other files in your gitconfig <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1557183/is-it-possible-to-include-a-file-in-your-gitconfig>`_.
.. code-block:: config
[include]
path = ~/.gitconfig_secret
And now, in your .gitconfig_secret file, you just have to add this:
.. code-block:: config
[github]
user = balkian
token = "< Your secret token >"
