Hiding my SECRETKEY in settings.py Hi newbie developer here. I was pushing my project onto github when I realized that I should probably create a separate file secretsettings.py that holds my secret key and then import that variable through a line like. SECRETKEY ¶ Default: ' (Empty string) A secret key for a particular Django installation. This is used to provide cryptographic signing, and should be set to a unique, unpredictable value. Django-admin startproject automatically adds a randomly-generated SECRETKEY to each new project. Uses of the key shouldn’t assume that it’s text or bytes.
