Add a step for local development about getting-started-ruby HOT 2 CLOSED

The configuration files use in this application provide a section for each environment, eg. development or production.

The Getting Started documentation demonstrates how to connect to your remote database when developing locally, eg. using Cloud SQL or Cloud Datastore. You can, however, configure different settings for your development and production environments.

To configure your database settings per environment, edit your config/database.yml file:

mysql_settings: &mysql_settings
  adapter: mysql2
  encoding: utf8
  pool: 5
  username: your-mysql-user-here
  # ...

development:
  <<: *mysql_settings

production:
  <<: *mysql_settings

For this tutorial, the development and production settings are shared. To use different settings, update this file like so:

development:
  adapter: mysql2
  encoding: utf8
  pool: 5
  username: your-DEVELOPMENT-mysql-user-here
  # ...

production:
  adapter: mysql2
  encoding: utf8
  pool: 5
  username: your-PRODUCTION-mysql-user-here
  # ...

You can do the same for your config/settings.yml file, eg. as is used to configure Cloud Storage uploads or Google Authentication:

default: &default
  oauth2:
    client_id: your-client-id
    # ......

development:
  <<: *default

production:
  <<: *default

Can be changed to:

development:
  oauth2:
    client_id: your-client-id
    # ......

production:
  oauth2:
    client_id: your-client-id
    # ......

Thanks for the quick reply! That's really helpful and just what I needed.
