  • 0

I am just starting out with grails development and was wondering about which files should be ignored within the .gitignore file. Up until now my .gitignore looks like this:

*.iws
*Db.properties
*Db.script
.settings
.link_to_grails_plugins
stacktrace.log
/*.zip
/plugin.xml
/*.log
/*DB.*
/cobertura.ser
.DS_Store
/target/
/out/
/web-app/plugins
/web-app/WEB-INF/classes#

I am currently using STS from springsource as my IDE. The only to items i cannot figure out are the “.classpath” file and the “target-eclipse” directory. Should I place these two items in the .gitignore file too?

Perhaps someone can help my out with this…

Thanks

    “target-eclipse” and “target”(if you’re running from console) should be ignored. It’s where the compiled classes sit.

    I’d also recommend ignoring ‘.classpath’ since you can generate it using grails integrate-with --eclipse but it’s a big discussion whether you should or not
