Files in gitignore

Question

I have a repository with a rails application on a Production server.

There is a .gitignore file in the repo:

...
    config/database.yaml 
...

Each developing client has a cloned repo with different config / database.yaml.

My problem is this:

database.yaml is in .gitignore, then when I run the git clone (on the server), database.yaml will not be created, but I need it.

I thought I was doing something wrong. Do you see where my mistake is?

Thank you alessandro

Answer 5

aleds is usually a bad idea to have your .yml database in the repository, so you see it in .gitignore. robertokl is right about providing the template file.
