Hiding GitHub token in .gitconfig

Question

I would like to store all of my dotfiles on GitHub, including .gitconfig which requires me to hide the GitHub token in the .gitconfig.

To do so I have a \".gitconfig-hid

Answer 1

I made a script to update my dotfiles repo, it also redacts sensitive information such as my github token. I don't think the github token is used by GitHub anymore though, but correct me if I'm wrong.

You can view my script here.
