Git中的Java config.properties文件

Question

I have a Java Project which includes a config.properties file, in which this config.properties file has property values of paths to some executable files.

I've configured a Git Repository (using EGit eclipse) tool, but the application is simply not working due to the fact that the config.properties file is not included in the Git Repository (in gitignore) since all users who will push/pull to Git will have a different config.properties file. How shall I solve this problem? Is there a way to map the config file without including it to the repository.

Any help is highly appreciated, and I'm quite sure theres a solutions to this problem. 'Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

一种方法是gitignore config.properties，并添加一个config.properties-template，其中包含所有参数和注释，以解释如何在需要时填充它们。

Answer 2

Solved. What I did was to include a piece of code whick will create a config.properties file with default values if none are found. –
