GitHub access token found in commit

[jaakko000]

When i insert github_token into .env and push by "bash script.sh" inside ~/klipper-backup in SSH, github instantly revokes my access token. Is the repo supposed to be private or something? Doesnt seem to matter if its a fine grain or normal token.

[Staubgeborener]

By "revoke" do you actually really mean that GitHub discards the token? So we are actually talking about the token being marked as "revoke" in your GitHub settings and not that you get simply am error message because the token is invalid (if so, please post the error message here)?

That's odd. The repo can be private or public. Sounds like this behavior tbh.

But that would mean that you either don't have a .gitignore file in the klipper-backup folder, or you have edited the .gitignore. This prevents the token from being pushed to GitHub respectively that the token will be revoked.

[jaakko000]

Yes, discards the token. Goes away from the list of available tokens. Goes away if repo is public. That behavior would match imo. I have a .gitignore (only found with "ls -la"). Havent edited it and looks the same as yours. Seemingly works fine when i made the repo private. Weird. So maybe it's solved? Works almost perfectly now that I got past that hurdle.

Just the moonraker updater klipper-backup is saying invalid and asking for soft or hard reset? Any ideas? Followed the guide

[Staubgeborener]

Yeah, a private repository will work as GitHub security guidelines don't affect token from being revoked after pushing them. This only happens in public repository because of obviously reasons. But again, this is weird. Can you check your private repository on GitHub? Is the token somewhere in this repository in any file? My first guess was, that you put the token also in the .env.example (which will be pushed). It has to be somewhere.

About the soft/hard reset issue: i think I now why this happens and I have a bad feeling about this. (Long story short: the GitHub repository klipper-Backup will be re-initialized with your own repository and not this one here, this will lead to exactly this error because the data in your folder is obviously different from the data in this repository - like you edit stuff in the .env file for example and other file will be automatically removed while installation. This also leads to a "wrong" commit history etc).

I will look into detail in a week. The macro should work anyway, I think you can simply ignore it for the time.

It is in .env. Nowhere else. I didn't get .env by following the guide and only got .env.example. Then I renamed that to .env and then put all that stuff in normally. Maybe it didnt change/register properly or something? How would I go about fixing that?

About the soft/hard reset issue:

Your explanation makes sense. Hope you can fix it. It works for the time being so i'll just run it manually. Here is what running the script looks like. Your explanation here likely has to do with the "glut of gotchas" so I figured I'd post this. (newest at the top).

Edit: Ah it makes klipper_backup/klipper/config/config/ so looks like you're on the right track. I changed the cp -r or whatever in script to make it work with directories. That should be the default btw because it's easier to backup just the config folder and not separately every single thing you want. I had a macros folder so I had to do that anyway.

Edit2: Am I supposed to be git pushing/pulling since I get Cannot rewrite branches: You have unstaged changes?

What kind of installation did you use? Sounds like this one, before i edited this wiki page a few days ago. Previously the step was

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/Staubgeborener/klipper-backup
chmod +x ./klipper-backup/*.sh && ./klipper-backup/install.sh

which leadsto a missing .env file, so now the correct way (watch out for the -main!) is

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/Staubgeborener/klipper-backup klipper-backup-main
chmod +x ./klipper-backup-main/*.sh && ./klipper-backup-main/install.sh

Hope you can fix it.

Actually the own backup repository should be in his own folder, which is independent from the klipper-backup folder - but while updating, klipper-backup must know exactly what this "own backup" folder is called and/or what the path is. I have to see which is the most elegant way.

Edit2: Am I supposed to be git pushing/pulling since I get Cannot rewrite branches: You have unstaged changes?

Never had this issue before, i can't tell you what caused this on your side. But check all modified files with a git status, this should help you to get a better view. After that i would try to commit this manual like git add --all && git commit -m "whatever" && git push, maybe you will need a git pull but this really depends on your local and remote files.
