I’m trying to make my project OSS, and I’d like to remove any sensitive info from the configs. I’m trying to have ENV['DB_PASS'] = mypassword. Where would I set this? I’ve tried export DB_PASS=mypassword in my .bashrc file. But that’s not working.
Are you sure
exportisn’t working? Have you triedecho $DB_PASS? (Also, changes to .bashrc won’t take effect until the next time you log in.)A more common way to handle this problem is to create a separate config file that is not tracked in your repository, and then provide a
config.samplefile demonstrating the common configuration options but with dummy values.
