      Blank characters at the beginning or the end of a git personal access token secrets should be dropped off

      Personal access token secrets are an alternative to[ setting up an OAuth Eclipse Che Application|https://www.eclipse.org/che/docs/stable/administration-guide/configuring-oauth-for-git-providers/] for authentication to git service providers. Creating a secret is a manual procedure that requires to copy-paste and Base64-encode the token. During this procedure a blank char (a new line or a space) can creep in the secret data making it invalid. This problem is now mitigated because any spaces at the beginning or at the end of personal access tokens are automatically trimmed by Eclipse Che.
