How can I use branch-specific variables in CircleCI for my Django project?

You can define branch-specific environment variables in your CircleCI configuration file. Use the when condition to set variables based on the branch.

Can you show me an example of how to set that up in the config file?

Sure! In your .circleci/config.yml, you can do something like this:

version: 2.1
jobs:
  build:
    docker:
      - image: circleci/python:3.8
    steps:
      - checkout
      - run:
          name: Set branch-specific variables
          command: |
            if [ "$CIRCLE_BRANCH" == "main" ]; then
              echo "Setting variables for main branch";
              export MY_VAR='value_for_main';
            else
              echo "Setting variables for other branches";
              export MY_VAR='value_for_other';
            fi

What if I want to use different variables for multiple branches?

You can use multiple if statements or a case statement to handle different branches. Just check the branch name and set the variables accordingly.
