If you know on your projects that you always want to add config/database.yml to .gitignore as part of creating the application, then use an application template<http://guides.rubyonrails.org/rails_application_templates.html>. It offers a file command<http://guides.rubyonrails.org/rails_application_templates.html#vendor-lib-file-initializer-filename-data-nil-block>that generates a file with the contents in the given block. Something like this ought to do the trick:
file '.gitignore', <<-IGNORE config/database.yml IGNORE You could also use the run command<http://guides.rubyonrails.org/rails_application_templates.html#run-command>to make a copy of of config/database.yml as config/database.yml.example, and use the git command<http://guides.rubyonrails.org/rails_application_templates.html#git-command>to stage that for the initial commit. Application templates seem under-utilized, but that might be because I don't often generate new applications or hear others talk about using templates.
