oh wow, really! why? sounds like a horrible project, imagine those git conflicts
can you elaborate on why they would want to commit IDE generated files? I have only seen this in legacy projects
what happens if people want to use different IDEs?
- Retr0id 2y agoIDE-specific files aren't necessarily auto-generated. They might include project-specific configs (random examples that come to mind include linter configs, tab/space indent settings, C library include paths)
- S04dKHzrKT 2y agoJetbrains' .DotSettings file is a specific example. It contains things like project specific dictionaries for the IDE's spell checker.
- forrestthewoods 2y ago> imagine those git conflicts Not an issue > why they would want to commit IDE generated files You added the word generated. Many Windows-oriented projects a Visual Studio .sln file. This is great! You can open the sln, build, and run. It “just works”. Very nice. I wish more projects did this. > what happens if people want to use different IDEs? That’s fine. Nothing stopping it.
