Can PhpStorm transform .htaccess files on deploy?

I am currently developing a PHP application using JetBrains PhpStorm. This applications contains several .htaccess files.

As there is right now no automated deployment process for this application I am using the "Upload to..." feature in PhpStorm. Using this feature the application is deployed to several servers.

The .htaccess files in my application need to have different content on different servers (staging systems vs production etc.). Unfortunately, so far I have not found a way to manage this reliably and have repeatedly overwritten .htaccess files with versions which are not suitable for the server I am deploying to.

Is there a way to make PhpStorm transform my .htaccess file before it is deployed? Or could I maybe define different versions of the same file for different servers?

The .htaccess files on each server are symlinks to the specified htaccess file in a folder. In this folder you have all your htaccess files from all servers. You skip the upload of the .htaccess files in PhpStorm, but you can change and deploy the files in the htaccess folder.

If you are able to create symlinks for htaccess files on your server, then this solution should work. It's not a clean solution, but better then wrong htaccess files on a server.
