❔ 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?

ah 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

@Angius @StrawHatGoofy prefer https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/app-secrets?view=aspnetcore-7.0 to appsettings

appsettings goes in the repo, which means there's a risk of it being committed

user secrets are nowhere near your repo
