local.settings.php

<?php
/**
 * @file
 * local.settings.php
 * 
 * This settings file is intended to contain settings specific to a local
 * development environment, by overriding options set in settings.php.
 * 
 * Include this file from your regular settings.php by including this at the
 * bottom:
 * 
 *   @include('local.settings.php');
 * 
 * Placing this at the very end of settings.php will allow you override all
 * options that are set there. Prefixing it with the @ suppresses warnings if
 * the local.settings.php file is missing, so you can commit this to your repo.
