Meteor: process.env.MAIL_URL sensitive info

I'm sending email verifications for my meteor app but I'm also uploading the app to github. I have the following code:

if (Meteor.isServer) {
// This code only runs on the server
Meteor.startup(function () {
    // code to run on server at startup

    process.env.MAIL_URL = "smtp://" +
        encodeURIComponent("myUsernameIsHere") + ":" +
        encodeURIComponent("myPasswordIsHere") + '@' +
        encodeURIComponent("smtp.gmail.com") + ":" + 465;
    ..
    ..
    ..
}

Is there any way to make my username and password private in code so that it can't be viewed on my public github account?

Thanks

Yes, you just make an addition to your gitignore file. https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore

It may be worthwhile for you to have a single file or directory with sensitive info for your whole app (keys, passwords) that you ignore.
