Rails Environment Variables Using Credentials
I've been a long time fan of Figaro, a great gem that lets your store your environment variables in /config/application.yml. I've used it in most of my Rails apps for two reasons. One, it lets you easily define variables for your for development, staging, production environments. Two, it works well with Heroku since they also use ENV for storing and accessing environment variables, so things work the same locally while developing as well as after it's been deployed. However the downside with Figaro is that all your environment variables are exposed to the outside world, which is problematic if your repo is open source.

Setting Up OmniAuth Authentication in Development
In this post, I will go over the steps I took to authenticate to GitHub in a Rails development environment using the omniauth-github gem, "the official OmniAuth strategy for authenticating to GitHub", along with Devise, the figaro gem, and ngrok, a nifty tool that exposes your local WebHost to the internet. This guide will assume you already have Devise authentication setup for your app. See the link above for installation instructions.

10 Signs of a good Ruby on Rails Developer
You should not commit such credentials/secrets/environment variables to the Github instead you keep them secure with gems like dotenv-rails, figaro or simple dot files that are not committed to the repository.

Test Driving a Rails API - Part Two
This is the second part of my Test Driving a Rails API series. In Part 1 we set up our development environment, generated a Rails API-only application, installed dotenv to easily store configuration values in the environment, and installed and configured PostgreSQL version 16 as our database.

Test Driving a Rails API - Part One
Storing environment variables for a Rails app can be problematic. The dotenv gem will automatically, when Rails boots, load environment variables from .env files into the Rails ENV. This is a great way to store private information that varies per developer or deployment environment, such as your development database configuration. Rails Encrypted Credentials is a great way to store private information, like API keys, etc, but I wouldn’t use it for storing my local development environment’s database information. The Encrypted Credentials file is checked into the git repository and would, therefore, be shared by all developers on the project. dotenv allows each developer or deployment environment to store their own information in .env files that are ignored by git.

Where Rails look for environment variables
Yeah, now that I think of it, it does require a gem. I have used this in most projects https://github.com/bkeepers/dotenv
What are some alternatives?

RailsConfig - Easiest way to add multi-environment yaml settings to Rails, Sinatra, Padrino and other Ruby projects.
ENVied - Ensures presence and type of your app's ENV-variables (mirror)
cross-env
Configatron - A super cool, simple, and feature rich configuration system for Ruby apps.
Settingslogic - A simple and straightforward settings solution that uses an ERB enabled YAML file and a singleton design pattern.
Econfig - Flexible configuration for Ruby applications
