My project has a staging, alpha and beta version and I have a corresponding branch for each one. I also have a config file with all the info relating to that specific branch which I would like to be in the repo but not get merged into the next branch. Is there any way to achieve this? From what I can tell the git ignore file removes it from the repo all together which means I would still have to manually change it every time I change branches.
