I have gone through the process of moving my dotfiles under version control using git, and github. However, there are some things in my dotfiles that I don't want published up to github, such as my github.token parameter in my ~/.gitconfig file.
After pondering the problem I came to the the solution of using a branch called publish that pushes to the master branch of my github repo. Then I can use a bit of scripting magic to merge changes from my local master and redact all the sensitive information into my local publish branch, then push the publish branch to the github master. However, I don't want to accidentally push the master branch up to github which would contain some sensitive info. If I were to 'git push' on master instead of 'publish' then I'm in trouble. So the question is: Is there a way to prevent my local master branch from pushing up to the github master by default when I just run 'git push'?
