title: partial push with git?
body: <p>I am a new git user.</p>
  
  <p>Following some difficulty, I was able to get a solid workflow going so that I can push from my local repository to my website.</p>
  
  <p>A problem however has come up. I develop on wamp and push to the site. When I push, my website database settings are being overwritten. Is there a way to use git selectively to avoid this.</p>
  
  <p>I am using codeigniter, so specifically I would like to push the entire project the first time and then avoid pushing the application/config directory in future pushes</p>
  
  <p>Thanks ,</p>
