Credentials are currently stored as plaintext in the cronjob. Only the user can see them, but there should be a better way to do this and ideally one that allows sharing the credentials across multiple users.

One possible option would be store on disk in a directory that has read permissions for all of the users that need be be able to deploy things back to GitHub.
