Production versus Development env?

[Nate]

Does anyone disable Disqus or other features locally, while in
"development" mode?

I would like a feature to be able to turn something on or off,
depending on
the environment.

I saw that Jekyll has a site.[CONFIGURATION_OPTIONS] that you can put
in
config.yml. If Jekyll could take command line params this way, it
could be a solution.

For example, in config.yml, I could have:

site.enable_disqus=true (or whatever the correct yaml way is)

And in my "development mode" I could run:

jekyll --server --auto --site.enable_disqus=false

However, I poked around at Jekyll command line and it doesn't appear
you can pass
custom options to jekyll. I also investigated Liquid, to see if it
could access Environment
varaibles, (e.g. {% if $DEVMODE %} ) but I couldn't find anything
there, either.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Passing options as parameters would be very useful!

I am simulating this with a Rake file that changes the config.yml, but it is an ugly hack.

Would you mind posting your rake file? My Ruby is rusty.

The "edit_config" method does the trick.
