-## Internal Branch
-
-__This is an internal branch which cannot be built without further configurations.__
-
-### Ignore Secrets in Git
-
-1. Create an empty `secret.ts` file with empty variables (e.g. empty string).
-1. Push the empty secret file to remote repo so the CI can still build the project.
-1. Make git ignore the modification of the secret file locally with the command `git update-index --skip-worktree <secret file path>`.
-1. Now, you can modify the secret file without the fear of pushing it to the public repo.
-
-> You don't even need to add the secret file to `.gitignore`.
-
 ## Highlight Features
 
 * Generate digital proofs on media assets created.
