Which files need source control?

[chris250]

Hi all,

When starting a new project VisualGDB creates a folder structure with various files in it (source and project files). I would like to add the project to source control (git). Which project files are required by VisualGDB? Am I correct in saying that I need to:

• Add all files in the project directory
• Ignore all files in the VisualGDB directory in the project directory

Thanks for your advice

The exact answer depends on the project type you are using. You can find more information about different project types here: https://visualgdb.com/documentation/projects/overview/

Generally, ignoring the directories with the binary files and the .visualgdb directory should be sufficient (please update to VisualGDB 5.5 Preview 7, as earlier versions used several more temporary directories dependent on the project type).

If the documentation doesn’t clarify it for your project type, please let us know which one it is and we will update it.
