Many of us have a build process that converts the contents of a checkout into a deployable site (a.k.a. "build artifact").
The build process can trivially skip .gitignore files (and all other files that are strictly for dev environments).
You then deploy the build artifact to production, with exactly the set of files which ought to be there.
- noselasd 4y agoThere's cases where you don't need a build process for a site.
- NateEag 4y agoSure. In those cases a build process is usually trivially easy to put together, and has benefits, so while not necessary it's still beneficial.
- TheHappyOddish 4y agoWhilst that's _sometimes_ true, there are plenty of cases where there's no additional value compared to just dragging the file into your FTP client.
