Good tip. My solution is to commit a settings_base.py file with the Django project. On each deployed system (including local) I then have a settings.py file which imports the base file and overrides anything secret or unique to the system.
Your solution is also very convenient when working with docker. It's common practice to pass settings into containers using environment variables.

That's also a very viable solution. Thank you for the comment!
