This may have been answered before, but the search feature didn’t turn it up. A lot of the files in the directory the cocos project tool creates are huge and I’m not sure which ones need to be versioned. Is there a guide on this anywhere? Thanks.
Here’s the root .gitignore template I use for my projects:
# ================
# cocos2d-x
# ================
[Bb]in/
cocosStudio.cfg
cocosStudio.udf
# ================
# c++
# ================
# Compiled Object files
*.slo
*.lo
*.o
# Debug Object files
*.o.d
# Compiled Dynamic libraries
*.so
*.dylib
# Compiled Static libraries
*.lai
*.la
*.a
# ================
# Windows crap
# ================
# Windows image file caches
Thumbs.db
ehthumbs.db
# Folder config file
Desktop.ini
# Recycle Bin used on file shares
$RECYCLE.BIN/
# ================
# Mac crap
# ================
.DS_Store
Hope this helps
*EDIT: Added the.gitignore files I have for platform directories, it’s probably worth looking at the .gitignore that comes along with the cocos2d-x repo too
