Config/Settings File

[jgallen23]

Sometimes I'll have a project that is open source where I need config or settings file that contains passwords, api keys, etc that I don't want to be in the git repo. It would be nice to have a field where deploy would push up that file in addition cloning the repo. Thoughts?

hmmm yeah im not against that, sounds good to me, although I would probably use environment variables but it really depends I guess

how do you solve this problem now?

Hey @guileen - I would recommend using something like scp for the transfer of Gitignored files. You could ultimately create a little wrapper script that does runs deploy --whatever-options && scp ~/my_local_file.txt user@remote_host.com:/some/remote/directory

Hope that helps!
