Here’s a tip to rename multiple files after copying at once in zsh.

As a general security practice, it is advised not to git track your secrets of your Rails application like application.yml or secrets.yml.

But you have to somehow share the default minimal contents required for the app to your teammates either by tossing around in your IM or via email.

Nowadays, it is a common practice to have sample yml files in your project for other team mates to copy. The copied file is git ignored allowing devs to experiment freely on their local machine while production or staging servers have different secret values.
