How to merge the remote branch and ignore the config setting?

Question

I working on a cms project and using a open source cms that hosted on github , how can I fetch the latest commit remotely to my working copy without overwrite some of my loc

Answer 1

I always recommend a filter driver with:

• a template for those setting files (versioned in Git)
• some files with the right values depending on the environment
• a script able to build the actual setting files (as a 'smudge' script)

See "How to keep different content of one file in my local and github repository?" for more details.
