How do I hide IP addresses and credentials in config files on Github?










0














I want to use Github for some of my config files. These files have IP addresses and other sensitive information. I DO NOT want to .gitignore the entire file.



How do I hide a single LINE or TEXT in the document?



Is there an option to use PGP here or..?



Thank you

          Take a look at http://git-secret.io/ . It might do exactly what you want.

          • I appreciate your reply. This is a cool tool and could be very useful. Unforunately, it seems that similar to .gitignore, git-secret deals with the entire file rather than individual values or lines on the code. I need to be able to keep (and share) config files with others (visually providing direction and guidance) without hiding the whole file.
