Use github token with my github page #21535
-
I’m creating a github page and I want that with some user interactions, some info get saved to a github repo. To do this, I’m using github api module, but when I submitted the commit with the changes, Github deprecated my token for security reasons. I’m ok with that, it totally makes sense. But now, I’m confused. How am I supposed to use an access token in a github pages repo? should I set it as a environment variable and not commit it? but if it is in a github pages repo I have to commit it. Or is there other way?? I’m using browserify and other npm modules with no site generator. Any thanks is appreciated. |

I can’t think of a way to do this with Github Pages alone. I am in no way affiliated, but use Netlify to do exactly this (Bonus, it’s free). Either using Snippet Injection (https://www.netlify.com/docs/inject-analytics-snippets/) if it is pure html/css/js. Or using Environment Variables that get included in the build process for static site generation (https://www.netlify.com/docs/build-settings/). |
