If you use Figaro or dotenv in your Rails app to ensure private credentials never get pushed source control how do you share that information with team members? For example, if I bring in a new team member tomorrow she won't be able to start developing without me manually sharing my application.yml
file (we're using Figaro). I'm new to this and just trying to understand best practices.

1Post them to a work chat or something. If you're worried about security, use encrypted chat with auto-destructing messages. :) – Sergio Tulentsev Oct 29 '15 at 12:08

Thank you @SergioTulentsev - I was hoping that there would be something a little more robust but that makes sense. – RobertJoseph Oct 29 '15 at 12:10

1If you're looking for some automation, you can have a chat bot that sends this stuff to all new members of the room. – Sergio Tulentsev Oct 29 '15 at 12:12

1As far as I'm concerned, this is "good enough" (even without the bot) and doesn't require any setup. Unless you're onboarding 300 people per day. In which case you'll need the bot. – Sergio Tulentsev Oct 29 '15 at 12:13
