Feature/private mutex (#248)

* feat/mutexPrivate:init; trying whether changes get pushed

* feat/privatedMutex: privated the mutex as a field in Client struct, added tests for this private mutex field

* feature/privateMutex: commented the composition of sync.Mutex

* feature/privateMutex: resolved issues with user credentials
