Outdated gitignore

[jbreuer]

Which exact Umbraco version are you using? For example: 9.0.1 - don't just write v9

V9 and V10

Bug summary

Not sure if I should report it here, but I don't know where else I should.

I started a new repository on Github. There you have an option to select a gitignore file. I selected the Umbraco one, but it seems pretty outdated.

This is what is in the gitignore file:

## Ignore Umbraco files/folders generated for each instance
##
## Get latest from https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/master/Umbraco.gitignore

# Note: VisualStudio gitignore rules may also be relevant

# Umbraco
# Ignore unimportant folders generated by Umbraco
**/App_Data/Logs/
**/App_Data/[Pp]review/
**/App_Data/TEMP/
**/App_Data/NuGetBackup/

# Ignore Umbraco content cache file
**/App_Data/umbraco.config

# Don't ignore Umbraco packages (VisualStudio.gitignore mistakes this for a NuGet packages folder)
# Make sure to include details from VisualStudio.gitignore BEFORE this
!**/App_Data/[Pp]ackages/*
!**/[Uu]mbraco/[Dd]eveloper/[Pp]ackages/*

# ImageProcessor DiskCache
**/App_Data/cache/

# Ignore the Models Builder models out of date flag
**/App_Data/Models/ood.flag

The link to Get latest from also doesn't work.

Specifics

No response

Steps to reproduce

Start a new repository on Github and select the Umbraco gitignore file.

Once the repository is created you can see the outdated file.

Expected result / actual result

It seems there already is an updated version here, but that is not the one which is used when you start a new repository: https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/main/community/DotNet/Umbraco.gitignore

That one should be used with a working Get latest from link.

Hi there @jbreuer!

Firstly, a big thank you for raising this issue. Every piece of feedback we receive helps us to make Umbraco better.

We really appreciate your patience while we wait for our team to have a look at this but we wanted to let you know that we see this and share with you the plan for what comes next.

• We'll assess whether this issue relates to something that has already been fixed in a later version of the release that it has been raised for.
• If it's a bug, is it related to a release that we are actively supporting or is it related to a release that's in the end-of-life or security-only phase?
• We'll replicate the issue to ensure that the problem is as described.
• We'll decide whether the behavior is an issue or if the behavior is intended.

We wish we could work with everyone directly and assess your issue immediately but we're in the fortunate position of having lots of contributions to work with and only a few humans who are able to do it. We are making progress though and in the meantime, we will keep you in the loop and let you know when we have any questions.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot :robot: :slightly_smiling_face:

When you use dotnet new umbraco you get our recommended ignore file, I don't really see a need for that centralized one but it's there and it works just fine (apart from missing out on ignoring the temp folder).

I've created a PR to fix the temp folder and the link. https://github.com/github/gitignore/pull/4128

[jbreuer]

Ah I just discovered I have 2 gitignore files. Here are the steps I did:

1. Created a repo on Github and added the Umbraco gitignore file.
2. Cloned the repo and in that folder I did dotnet new umbraco.

By doing step 2 in the cloned folder it creates another folder in there. So I have the gitignore from Github in the root folder and the correct one in a folder deeper.

Thanks for fix the the temp folder and link the link in https://github.com/github/gitignore/pull/4128, but that version is still not used when you create a new repo on Github.
