Does anybody have any suggestions for how to keep passwords/API keys and such safe when you are pushing your project to GitHub? It's a project that I'm probably going to want to make public at some point, and I want to be sure that my config file is kept safe, but I also want to be able to pull the full project down on my work and home computers and pull changes.
