I wanted to post that as well, saved me some work.
I always look for existing gitignore files on githubs repo first, since it’s usually pretty verbose and comprehensive and thus I was wondering why it wasn’t mentioned in the video.

Thanks for posting this as reference to people who might not know about the repo!

This pretty much answers my question of “There’s no BuildingEscape.VC.db file! Should I get rid of the only VC.db file (Browse.VC.db)?” as a yes.

Thanks.

I’m going to take the suggestion from the OP link and add .vs/ to the ignore list. I’ll update this post if it breaks anything.
