Never ever store confidential or sensitive information in your source code. Sensitive information that should never be stored in code includes API keys, passwords, encryption keys, and configuration files. Instead, use environment variables or robust secret storage solutions like HashiCorp Vault or AWS Secrets Manager.
In 2022 alone, GitHub detected over 1.7 million potential secrets exposed in public repositories. Protecting sensitive data in private projects is essential to prevent breaches and maintain data security.
