Subject: Help before pushing to remote repo.
I have a file that contains a "secret" key value. I unwittingly committed two commits to my local repository that contained the value. Is there anything I can do to prevent the value from making it to the version(s) visible in the remote repository? I don't know if I can "edit" the commits or change the history of the file.
I'm using github for the remote repo. and am, obviously, very new to Git.

Assuming that you haven't yet pushed it to the remote repository...
