SVN - how to remove a file from version control

I am working on an SVN-controlled project that I had from the server from the very beginning.

In one of the managed SVN directories there is a configuration file (settings.py), which I needed to edit in accordance with my local setting.

I created a local backup of my own configuration file. In order not to update this file on the server, I always return "settings.py" before starting the server. After the transaction, I transfer my "settings.py" from my local backup.

I would appreciate it if anyone could help me how to exclude this file from SVN without any side effects; so I don’t have to go back and restore them manually.

The usual way to do this is to save the sample file, for example settings.py.template in the original control, but not settings.py . Thus, you can change settings.py as needed locally, without Subversion, prompting you to execute it.

When you do a new check, copy settings.py.template to settings.py to get started. If you make any changes to the default configuration file, change settings.py.template and commit the changes.

Well, you may just not commit the file.

When committed, you can choose what to do; just omit the file.
