What's the best practice for handling system-specific information under version control?

Question

I\'m new to version control, so I apologize if there is a well-known solution to this. For this problem in particular, I\'m using git, but I\'m curious about how to deal wit

Answer 1

Sounds like your production code is a full on git repository and to update production you do a git pull? You might want to try a separate build process that checks the code out of your repository and creates a clean build (no .git folder). You could could have environment specific config files which contain your paths that are copied or created along with it.
