Save the configuration file to the hero, but delete from the public repo on github?

Question

I am trying to use newrelic in a test application that deploys in heroku.

I have both the original name (public github repo) and heroku.

After clicking on the hero with the newrelic.yml file enabled, I would like to be able to make changes to the initial state, but not include the newrelic.yml file, since it contains a license button.

I tried putting the config / newrelic.yml file in .gitignore, but it still keeps track of the file and pushes the file to the beginning. Then I tried to delete the file, but could not get the pure git status.

I tried rm config / newrelic.yml, but then even with it in .gitignore the next time I click on a hero, it deletes the file on the hero, forcing stopping new recruiting.

I saw other similar problems on SO with answers related to heroku config vars https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/config-vars , but I don’t understand how it relates, if it is, to delete the configuration file for github.

thanks

Heroku takes all your files from Github, each push replaces all your files with new ones. I do not think you can do something like this.

If you put your file in .gitignore, you cannot click it on Heroku.

The solution may be to use a branch on Github, on the main you keep your code without a configuration file, and on the "Heroku" branch you add a file and use it to click on Heroku.
