Jekyll contentful plugin is configured in the config.yml file. But if I publish the repo on a public github repository, the api key will be available for anyone to use it. How can I avoid that?

You can use CloudCannon (CMS for Jekyll) as an alternative. CloudCannon does not require an API key, supports Github and allows you to use a private repo. The free account should fit your needs.

Currently there is no possible way to do that.
Please open an issue on GitHub and we'll add that feature as soon as we can.
Else, as a workaround, you can omit your config.yml file from being pushed if you're not using it for GitHub Pages, by adding it to your .gitignore.

I need my config file in the repo because I'm deploying with netlify. What I'm doing currently is pasting the snippet only when I need to update data, because I'm just testing it out. But that wouldn't be sustainable. I guess the best way for now is a private repo. Thanks for the answer. – GuayoMena Aug 01 '16 at 01:50
