Gitignore issue

Luichy · July 6, 2020, 7:20am

I’m new with the .gitignore files.

I can’t seem to download it from the lesson. How do I implement it? In other words, how can I make the .gitignore file from scratch.

I’m using a Mac.

Open Terminal, navigate to the folder in wich you want your .gitignore file. Write “touch .gitignore”

You can just use this

github.com

github/gitignore/blob/master/UnrealEngine.gitignore

# Visual Studio 2015 user specific files
.vs/

# Compiled Object files
*.slo
*.lo
*.o
*.obj

# Precompiled Headers
*.gch
*.pch

# Compiled Dynamic libraries
*.so
*.dylib
*.dll

# Fortran module files
*.mod

I’m using VS Code and I read there that it’s a Visual Studio 2015 specific files. Is that correct?

Yes and no, it has ignores for Visual Studio stuff but that doesn’t stop it being good to use. There’s also Xcode files in that.

I suggest you also add this for VS Code

.vscode/*
*.code-workspace
