Have you got a secret (eg a password or API key) in your source code? Don't do that! Read it from a file or an environment variable.
Too many people have posted their passwords etc to the web, so this check seems now automatic.

yea i have servicekey.json of firebase which i put in .gitignore
rugged pasture
yea i have servicekey.json of firebase which i put in .gitignore
The key, or just the name of the file?
near night
its a key in .json file
rugged pasture
Right, but .gitignore just names servicekey.json, yes?
near night
yes
rugged pasture
I suspect you've already commits your servicekey.json file to the repo. If so, .gitignore is not involved.
.gitignore just governs what uncommited/unadded files git is willing to consider by default.
near night
yes i think i have commited it
rugged pasture
yes
It's possible new repo time then. I'm not sure you can get git to completely forget the file. (It's in your commit history.)
near night
what i can do noe?
rugged pasture
Git might have a way to do this.
Otherwise, if the repo is young and you don't care about the commit history you could remove .git and initialise again, avoiding serviceapi.json
near night
yes i can do that
rugged pasture
Or you could make a fresh repo and cherrypick in all the commits from this repo, except for the ones which added serviceapi.json
near night
whats the command to ignore that file
rugged pasture
Anyway, you basicly need serviceapi.json never to have been commited to git.
rugged pasture
Putting it in the .gitignore will prevent git from considering it when git is considering uncommitted/unadded things. But if you git add it, it's added.
So don't do that 🙂
near night
i just do git add . ,so the .gitignore must be added what i need to do now is to remove it from commit am i right?
rugged pasture
git add . adds everything in the current directory not excluded by the .gitignore. You want the .gitignore before you git add ..
If you had done an add but not yet committed you can probably undo the add of the serviceapi.json file. Only the commit step matters.
rugged pasture
Whoops.
near night
now? : )
rugged pasture
You can undo a commit IIRC.
near night
how? i am new to git
rugged pasture
Basicly:
- undo the commit
- make sure .gitignore lists the serviceapi.json
git add ., or explicitlygit addthe files you want to add
Personally I rearely git add a whole directory, just a file or files.
near night
ok but how to undo it?
rugged pasture
how to undo a git commit
near night
how to undo a git commit
yes
rugged pasture
near night
ok
rugged pasture
I think if you properly undo the commit, you'll be ok later when git pushing.
near night
ok
rugged pasture
But I recommend adding files explicitly instead of git add .
near night
what happen if i do hard reset?
near night
But I recommend adding files explicitly instead of `git add .`
i will do that only from now
rugged pasture
I am usure. git has some notion of a staging area of things added and not commited. But you're past that, so "hard" might not mean anything extra.
git help reset will robably talk about it at length, in cryptic form 😦
You can git help for most git commands and get quite a lot of info.
rugged pasture
Do the git help in another terminal 🙂 that way you can look at the help in one terminal and do things in the other.
rugged pasture
Ugh. I need to go AFK.
near night
umm
rugged pasture
I've asked over in #python-discussion if anyone can help you more.
near night
ok
rugged pasture
You could ask over there anyway, or ask here/there again later. Different people around.
fast cairn
@near night so, you've committed the file but not pushed it, right?
rugged pasture
They can't push it (fortunately) there s a check upstream.
Oh hey, you might want git reset HEAD^ (i.e. to the revision before you commited the file. Adjust to whatever revision that was.
fast cairn
git reset --soft HEAD^ will remove the commit without actually changing any file on disk.
from there you can unstage the ignored file, then make a new commit, and done.
near night
<@976763577375543296> so, you've committed the file but not pushed it, right?
yes
let me check it

i uncommited it now how to remove it from
git add .
near night
i asked chat gpt that git add . add all files instead of gitignore \
its wrong
@fast cairn
fast cairn
git reset -- thefileyouwanttounstage
near night
ok
fast cairn
(afterwards, check git status to make sure what is and isn't staged. then you can go forward with the commit)
near night
it will remove it from here?
dull phoenix
that's not how .gitignore works
fast cairn
it won't actually remove anything from disk. we're just changing what git is and isn't tracking.
dull phoenix
.gitignore is a text file consisting of patterns to ignore
you want to put your secrets file somewhere in your repo
and add it to the .gitignore file
ancient kindle
If I'm not off-topic, whats proper way to add secrets?
near night
@fast cairn thanks problem solved
fast cairn
cheers

`.gitignore` is a text file consisting of patterns to ignore

ohh
dull phoenix
gitignore isn't a folder, you can still add your secrets back into the worktree on accident currently
move the secrets file, probably to the root of the project and
just add it's name to a file called .gitignore (also in the root of your project)
