Rebar Plugin -> GitConf

---

This plugin could automatic download configure files from your git server, it will be helps you to management the configure files by git, and you can trace the every version of your configure files.

If you are using git-flow, you'd better use the same branch name between code project and configure project, for example

your code project url :

git@github.com:erlang-china/my_project.git

and your configure project url:

git@mycompany.com:production-configs/my_project.git

and between these two git repos, also have two infinity branches:master and develop, and have support branches:features, hotfix and release, while you develop on different branch, you'd better get the same branch configure branches.

e.g.

if you are develop on hotfix branches, you'd better also checkout hotfix configure branch, and if you modified the configure files, you also need follow the git-flow steps to merge your configure branchs.
