Hello Konstantin,
I don't like the idea of storing my patchwork API key in plain text on
my system (which uses encrypted storage, though) and my dotfiles repo.
Can you use the git credential mechanism to retrieve API key(s)?
regards,
Marc

I posted a patch series to b4 last week to do that. Please give it a try.

Thanks, works for me!
Using git credentials is probably more work, but IMHO integrated better
into the git ecosystem.

Marc
