Elixir local development config

When you’re working in a team it’s common for each developers setup to be a little different. A great way to deal with this in Elixir projects is to include an optional config file called local.exs. This file should not be tracked in source control and can override any config each developer needs for their local machine.

config/local.exs

use Mix.Config

config/dev.exs

...

# Local, untracked config overrides.
if File.exists?("#{__DIR__}/local.exs") do
  import_config "local.exs"
end

.gitignore

# Local, untracked config overrides.
config/local.exs
