I know that pushing a commit with an API key is something for which a developer should have his balls cut off, but…

…I’m wondering what I should do if, somehow, I accidentally commit an API key or other sensitive information, an environment variable to the repo.

Should I just revoke the access and leave it as is, or maybe locally remove this commit and force-push a new one without the key? How do you guys handle this situation in a professional environment?

    You don’t say if you noticed before pushing. If it’s your last commit and not pushed yet, you can still amend your last commit.
