How does Talend handle secrets saved to GitHub for job context

[MShiwratan1695877343]

We have items like access keys and database strings in our job contexts.

How does Talend keep them out of Github when we push this code to Github?

Ensure you set anything like these as data type of Password in the context group or job context.

really, don’t populate the values with anything and either read them in at runtime from a local file when developing or use a custom connection type in Talend Cloud.

And on top of that I highly recommend to rotate the encryption keys: https://help.talend.com/r/en-US/8.0/installation-guide-windows/rotating-encryption-keys-in-talend-studio
