Why is there no .gitignore file? #16

Closed TheStoneWolf closed 4 years ago

My deepest thanks to all of you for having created this! It is a big help in my minecraft modding endeavour! Though I must admitt that I am very surprised to see that you have no .gitignore file here. Isn't that a very important part of having your minecraft mod on Github? I have had many different suggestions on how I should go forward with the .gitignore file and I am unsure how to go forward...

I do know that having your mod on Github is by no means a requirement when it comes to modding but knowing how helpful I found looking at the mods here on Github I want to help others going through the same process.

All of your help would be deeply appreciated!

.gitignore isn't a requirement for any project. For Java projects, they usually contain Eclipse and IntelliJ files. If you know how to git add src, then it isn't needed. Something like this would work.

You're welcome, glad you find it useful :) Like Phase commented - I don't use .gitignore because I manually specify the files that I want to add to version control (and manually remove the ones that I don't). Just a personal preference really. If you fork the project you can add one if you wish (or not).

Oh... Yeah, now I get it. Thanks for the help anyhow~ ^-^

Was wondering the same. I think .gitignore would be a nice addition for other devs.
