A very common pattern for settings that must change per deployed environment is
exactly what Manuel suggests.
Lets say it's config.php; then you add config.php to .gitignore; but check in a
config.php.template that established safe defaults and is ok for public
consumption.
When a new Dev starts with it tell them to copy the template to the real name
and modify to suit.
In your deploy scripts I've done various things to populate that file.
1) copy the template to the final location; and sed -i that file until it's
what I want.
2) upload a copy of exactly what I want from a different location in the deploy
scripts.
3) build a string and upload that with 'put' as the file.
4) my favorite and what I do 98% of the time. Build a template in the
deployscripts utilizing erb markup; use a helper to upload the erb processed
template to the server.
# Upload a file running it through ERB
def upload_template(src,dst,options = {})
raise Capistrano::Error, "upload_template requires Source and Destination"
if src.nil? or dst.nil?
put ERB.new(File.read(src)).result(binding), dst, options
end
