git ignore Yii database details

Some of the details in the main.php needed by all application instances (URL details) and some details will be specific to each application instance (database details).

Is there any idea to separate the database details from protected/config/main.php?

You can use separate configuration file (e.g. protected/config/production.php), that is based on your main configuration file and that overrides some settings using CMap::mergeArray as this answer suggests:

return CMap::mergeArray(
    require(dirname(__FILE__) . '/main.php'),
    array(
        'components' => array(
            'db' => array(
                'connectionString' => '...',
                'username' => '...',
                'password' => '...',
            ),
        ),
    )
);

Then you can add protected/config/production.php to .gitignore.

Just include the shared configuration from another PHP file:

main.php:

return array
(
   ....
   'components' => array
   (
      'db' => include('sharedDatabaseConfiguration.php');
   )
);

sharedDatabaseConfiguration.php:

return array('host' => ...);

You might have to add a path or something, depending where the file is stored.

Edit: Btw, Yii also has a fancy CMap::mergeArray() function that can do something similar (in case you want to "augment" the contents of a single config file with that from another one. Look at the default generated console.php for an example of that.

You can find an idea here: Manage application configuration in different modes . Basically it works by importing a different PHP file (your db configuration) and merging the includedarrays:

<?php
return CMap::mergeArray(
    require(dirname(__FILE__).'/db-config.php'), 
    array(
          'basePath' => dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'..',
          'name' => 'Page Title',
          ...
    )
);
?>
