Config file management

Question

When using build system like Drone.io, or Jenkins, what is the best way to manage configuration files? In Jenkins I use a plugin that let me create some config text files. However, there is no grouping. I wish to know how you guys are managing your config files for different environments like test, stage, prod.

Thanks!

Solution

1) See Config File Provider Plugin:

Adds the ability to provide configuration files (i.e., settings.xml for maven, XML, groovy, custom files, etc.) loaded through the Jenkins UI which will be copied to the job's workspace.

2) See Configuration Slicing Plugin:

the configuration slicing plugin can handle properties on any collection, such as slaves, or builds of a project.

Thanks Gerold. Do you know how I can have the same capability in Drone.io?

@Khanetor You're welcome. I don't know. I'm not familiar with Drone. Ask Brad at Drone directly.
