That’s really not a great idea…

  ...and why? I am serious. If there is a better way, I'd use it. Remember that I don't do online/server-based stuff. Most of my projects are for full compilation/linking, and rendering into host-executable, binary apps. There's a bunch of stuff in my development process that never needs to see a server.

    A super simple way is to have a script in your home directory - far away from your repos - that set environment variables that you read in your configuration.

      That makes sense. I could do something like that. [UPDATE] I ended up doing something even simpler. I have issues with running scripts during the build process, unless really necessary (I have done it, and will, again). Since this is Xcode, I simply needed to store the file in a directory (still with the global ignored name) far out of my dev tree, and dragged the file into the IDE.

        That’s basically the idea - get your credentials out of your dev tree. I’m not dogmatic about how it’s done.
