May also want to look at https://github.com/railsjedi/rails_config. Amongst it's many features:

• Global settings.yml
• Per-environment settings files (settings/development.yml, settings/production.yml etc.)
• Local settings files (settings.local.yml, settings/development.local.yml, etc. )
• Embedded ERB support
• Rails 3 / Padrino / Sinatra support
