for an embedded project built inside the Arduino IDE, (alternate firmware for a
home automation project) there is a need to set a number of parameters that we
really don't want in the main repo (wifi network IDs/passwords)
right now, we have these things set as #defines in a header file.
We need to distribute a base version of this file for new people to get started.
Is there any way to have git define a file in such a way that if it doesn't
exist in the worktree it gets populated, but if it does exist it doesn't get
overwritten? (as I type this, I'm thinking a trigger may work, but we need it to
work on Linux, Windows and OSX)
Any thoughts on a sane way to handle this situation?
