❔ MySQL publishing question
I'm working on a habit tracker using c# and mysql and i was about to publish it and send it off to github but i realized it has my MySQLWorkbench database password in it. I know its not a big deal since no one can get access to database but its a password that i use often. is there a way to hide the password and still have the connection still work?

appsettings.jsonah ok i started it as a console app and i dont think i have app settings.
Ah, I assumed it's an ASP app
In that case, whatever other config file you want, really
i should try asp everywhere i look is looking for asp.net
I mean, if you want to make a web application, ASP would be the way to go, sure

appsettings goes in the repo, which means there's a risk of it being committed
user secrets are nowhere near your repo
