How can I set up git to hide a file from the public but still upload it to the production server?

Question

git

I want to connect people to work with the repository, but at the same time hide the main settings file from the public. This can be done via .gitignore, but I want to load the version with the hidden file that only I can see when uploading the repository to the production server.

Answer 1

I save the settings in .env, add it to .gitignore and run everything with foreman. On the server, settings are also stored in environment variables (I use heroku).

Answer 2
