Everything is all good and well when it is on your local machine, but you obviously don&rsquo;t want to share these API keys with the world.</p> <blockquote> <p>How can we still preserve our API keys within our application, but also hide them when we upload our code to our repository?</p> </blockquote> <p>We want to be able to still use our API keys in a normal fashion inside our applications, but also not expose them.</p> <p>That&rsquo;s where&nbsp;<strong><em>secrets&nbsp;</em></strong>come in.
