gitignore
Thanks for your reply, I should have been more specific.
In other applictions I use the gitignore file to ignore files that do not need to be tracked by source controller. I have placed a link to the git documentation outlining it below.
https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore
For example below are some of the things I usually ignore.
- Build artifacts
- Elements that are specific to my machine (paths etc)
- Configuration files that contain sensitive information that I do not want on the source control server.
Hopefully that helps a bit.
