Re: NOOB exposes CSRF token. Now what?

Hello,

you may force-push a new commit that removes the settings file from the GitHub repo, but if you are really paranoid, you may want to change your CSRF token in production immediately. It may cause some temporary annoyance to your users, but nothing long-term.

Best,

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?
