Hide password and possible username under the system

[voyeg3r]

I think it is pretty easy to conceal the password by using something like "cat" command to get the password in a file that has permissions only for your user:

# only your should be able to read this file, so we have to change its permissions
chmod 700 ~/.config/projetcname/credentials.txt

# in the bellow example we are using awk to read the line that has "password" and print the second field
password=$(awk '/password/ {print $2}' credentials.txt)

The credential files should be something like:

user: username
password: yourveryconvolutedpassword

I gave you a shell script example but it could perfectly be done using python. This way you do not have to exposure your credentials.

one more alternative is, you can pass password string as a input argument to your shell script.

Have build the same automation for windows platform using git-bash.exe with all parameter as input arguments to script.
