Validate git author args, stop leaking GitHub credentials

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Shopify

Shopify CLI shipped a security fix that validates git commit author arguments and stops printing GitHub credentials to terminal output.

A security patch [1] now validates the git commit author argument, closing a potential injection or spoofing vector. Separately, the CLI no longer prints GitHub authentication tokens or signed LFS download URLs [2]; `dev github print-auth` output is captured without being echoed, and credential sources are logged without their values. This is a breaking change for any workflow that relied on that output appearing in command output. For partners migrating billing plans, four new hidden commands were added [3], and NONE migration notifications were removed [4]. The hidden commands won't appear in help, README, or Shopify.dev docs, so they are intended for scripted use only.
