Keep all the configuration variables under a single namespace.
# Gemfile
gem 'appconfig', github: 'honeypotio/appconfig-rb', require: falserequire 'appconfig' possibly before than any other file (which in Rails is after require 'rails/all').
If you use Dotenv, initialize it before this gem though.
Create a config folder and store two new files called secrets.yml and config.yml (in a Rails app you only need the last one).
The config.yml could initially look like this:
default: &defaults
hello_email: <%= ENV.fetch('HELLO_EMAIL', '[email protected]') %>
title: 'Honeypot - The Developer-Focused Job Platform'
description: 'Honeypot is a Developer-Focused Job Platform. Companies apply to you with salary and tech stack upfront.'

development:
<<: *defaults
