Rails - Figaro gem - how can I add a collaborator to my repo without sharing application.yml variables

Question

I am using rails 5 with figaro gem to manage my environment variables.

I have just started working with a coding coach, who is setting up my repo on his system.

Is there a way for me to share my repo (so that he can configure it) without giving him the codes in my application.yml?

Add application.yml to git ignore. If the file is already commited in git history, you can follow instruction in here to let git 'forget' it completely.

But how can he use the application if he doesnt have the file – Mel Jan 17 '17 at 02:49
You can tell him/her personally those ENV variables, so they can be set directly. But I guess those ENV variables you are afraid to share are external services credentials, usually these services would provide another set of credentials for you to test (staging/sandbox), you can share this to your coding coach, so it won't affect your production env. – Zzz Jan 17 '17 at 02:58
