Sensitive strings like api_keys should not be checked into git.
Locally these keys should be saved in a .env file. That's a file without a name but with an env extention. We're using a gem called dotenv to handle this.
Sample .env file:
TMS_API_KEY=abc123
Whenever your application loads, these variables will be available in ENV:
ENV['TMS_API_KEY']In production, we should use config variables. heroku config:set TMS_API_KEY=123.
Make sure you're in the root director of the git repo (Tv-Share-Backend).
Then, run this command: git subtree push --prefix tvsharedb heroku master
If you need to force-push to heroku use this command: git push heroku git subtree split --prefix tvsharedb master:master --force. Note: Make sure you know what you're doing as this is a potentially destructive command.
