Suggestion: Rename emailproxy.config in repository #210

Closed andyboeh closed 9 months ago

When updating via git pull, it errors out with "Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge: emailproxy.config". Of course I can stash or simply copy my config file to a backup, but:

Would it be a viable option to rename emailproxy.config in the repository to emailproxy.config.example and have users rename / copy the file on first use? Or are there other suggestions?

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. It's an option, but it would make setup harder, so instead, if you're actively tracking the gut repository I'd recommend using the --config-file option and keeping your personal config file elsewhere.

I overlooked this option, thanks for the suggestion!
