Subject: Is there a way to have a local version of a header file?
Date: Sat, 18 Mar 2017 07:29:50 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <nycvar.QRO.7.75.62.1703180724490.3797@qynat-yncgbc> (raw)
for an embedded project built inside the Arduino IDE, (alternate firmware for a
home automation project) there is a need to set a number of parameters that we
really don't want in the main repo (wifi network IDs/passwords)
right now, we have these things set as #defines in a header file.
We need to distribute a base version of this file for new people to get started.
Is there any way to have git define a file in such a way that if it doesn't
exist in the worktree it gets populated, but if it does exist it doesn't get
overwritten? (as I type this, I'm thinking a trigger may work, but we need it to
work on Linux, Windows and OSX)
Any thoughts on a sane way to handle this situation?
