Writing a post Change password

🔨 Development

To get started, add the environment variable FINDING_ANAND_ACCESS_TOKEN with your GitHub access token. Then, edit the ./common/config.ts file with your repository name and JWT config:

To start a local server:

npm run local

To log into Gitwords, you need a password. This is a hashed string located in password.txt in your private repository. Similarly, an optional secret.txt is used to sign your JWT (with a fallback to your hashed password). Initially, create an empty file and log in with an empty string, then use the “Change password” feature from the UI.
