I make a program that has next file system:

-.git/
-main.py
-setting.json
...

First, I upload the default setting.json to github repository.

Then changing setting.json for testing, but i don't want to push the changed setting.json.

Now, i am using just

git add filname

for changed code.

Is it the best leaving the setting.json on modified state? setting.json needs to write secret key in the file.

Here is another suggestion for how to handle config files containing secrets: https://stackoverflow.com/a/40550975/7146596 – danielorn Apr 14 '20 at 16:38
Use a sample file that you track and ignore the real file. That's the usual technique. – eftshift0 Apr 14 '20 at 17:32
Thanks for suggestions. I put making default setting file code in the main code. – KAN_RYU Apr 15 '20 at 07:56
