How to handle secrets.yml in Rails 4.1

I am using Rails 4.1's secrets.yml to store my keys etc, but I am wondering, if this file should be gitignore, so I don't store any sensitive data in my repo?

If I gitignore it, how do I access secrets on my server? (Which is Engineyard, in this case)

You should use envirement-variablesand set them on the production-system.

key: <%= ENV['PRODUCTION_KEY'] %>

I don´t know Engineyard, but on heroku there are some simple commands to set the envirement-variables

heroku config:add PRODUCTION_KEY=123

@Update, here is a post on stackoverflow on how you set them on engineyard
