Hello,  
I would like to use bedrock / ddev for Wordpress development and Gitlab CI/CD.

I’m struggling with a rather simple task, but maybe I try to fix this the wrong way…

My Server usses Spinup and with a gitlab hook after a push to a branch the whole repository gets pulled to the server (wordpress, plugins and themes) and should contain the latest data. Right now i get the Database connection error, because I don’t know how to separate the ddev local credentials and the production / staging credentials.

I tried to create a .env.production and set the value of WP\_ENV to production, but this was not the correct way.

Is this possible with the modified folder structure (web/app and web/wp) or do I have to use the original structure and simply put the wp-config.php with the correct credentials directly on the server?
