Could not open [...].VC.opendb

As I followed the lessons, Visual Studio (VS) started complaining:

Could not open ‘C:/[project path].VC.opendb’: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

Git: git version 2.10.0.windows.1
VS: Visual Studio 2015, Version 14.0.25425.01
UE4: Unreal Engine 4.16.1

If you run into this issue, try adding *.VC.opendb to your .gitignore file. After adding this, it should look similar to this:

##########################
# Unreal Generated Files #

*_BuiltData.uasset
BuildingEscape/Content/StarterContent/
