NOOB exposes CSRF token. Now what?

I'm learning Django and still very new at it. And like a newbie, I may have made a newbie goof.
I have leaked my CSRF token.
I am building up a web site with Django which I have under revision control with Git. I have pushed two commits of the project out to Github. The commits included the settings.py file, which list the CSRF token. I have read (after the fact) that maybe that wasn't the smartest thing to do.

So now what?

Can I remove the settings.py file from Github?
Or can I generate a new CSRF token?

Any suggestions?
