 Copy the token (you won't see it again!)
 
 #### Storing the Token:
-In Docusaurus, we store it in docusaurus.config.js:
-```javascript
-module.exports = {
-  customFields: {
-    gitToken: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN || '',
-  },
-  // ...
-};
-```
-Then access it:
-```typescript
-const {
-  siteConfig: { customFields },
-} = useDocusaurusContext();
-const token = customFields?.gitToken || "";
-```
+Do not store a GitHub token in `docusaurus.config.js` or any other client-bundled config. Keep it in server-side environment variables and call GitHub from a backend endpoint instead.
