1. What is the nature and description of the request?
   When using username and password for the SCM credentials in Automation Controller, the credentials are stored inside git configuration files.
   Although this is a default behavior from the git command, the Automation Controller should perform a cleanup from confidential information due to its security risks
2. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)
   Improve environment security
3. How would you like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)
   From an initial analysis, the possible changes are:

• Cleaning up the Confidential information from the git config after project sync
• Use environment variables instead of providing the credentials together with the URL

Note: Deleting the directly .git from the project will cause the next project sync to fail.
