I keep passwords, etc, in an untracked file in my local repo in a file called secrets.py
I want to add an untracked secrets.py stub to the remote repo on github so that the code will run and fall back gracefully.
How do I add an untracked file to GitHub? It seems like the only way to add a file on the GitHub web site is to use a commit, which I think means the file is tracked, whatever the .gitignore file says.
