Put all local credentials in a separate debug config and git.ignore it.

On the other hand, they should never use their own credentials to access anything even in debug mode.

What I suggest and do is a bfg repo cleaner as a pre commit hook that searches for passwords or other creds. Saves me a lot.of accidental derps

Any credential pushed to public repo should be assumed as compromised, first step should be to revoke the credentials.

@theabbie First step is to slap the (ir)responsible party. Revoking the credentials is step 2.

@ItsNotMyFault I'd say the first step is revoking credentials.

Credential scrappers might be a lot faster than your pimp hand.
