how do i protect my password or go about this, I'm using MYSQL
protect yoour password in what way?
Just read it from a config file?
im not sure
my plan is to post this project on github though for like my portfolio, sooo would that be the best option?
use a config file for it
and don't commit that config file
ahh okay
makes sense i just searched it up
but also if anyone else wanted to run the proj on their own how would that work?
they create their own config file with their DB password
ohh ok thanks for the clarification
