My config.json file in my repo contains placeholders for the user to put in their tokens. I don't know how to edit the config.json during the deployment phase. I don't want my tokens on my public repo because people would steal them. Please help me.

What's the goal here? Other people can use this JSON file to host their own copy of your GitHub repository?

Yeah pretty much.

I believe templates are what you're looking for: https://docs.railway.com/reference/templates
You can create a template for your app and just share that.

Well it's actually specifically more... This python program that hosts a connection (API) between c.ai (CharacterAI) and Discord.
If I want to host the connection for more than one AI "character" (which is a GPT3.5 AI that is pre-scripted to be unique) to Discord, where if added to any Discord server it will be responsive there, then I would run second instance of the program, with the tokens for the hosts CharacterAI account and specified AI, along with a history ID for memory redundancy, and a name for a voice pack.

Why I need the config.json editable, and not shared with the configuration tokens in it, is because a different user could rip those tokens and control my bot...
So I'm just wondering, how would I edit the config.json file AFTER the program is downloaded during deployment, and BEFORE it is initiated during runtime.
