Question

I believe the question already made some sense. To explain further, a visual studio project usually contains a solution file, project directories, some personal preferences etc. Which files should I include while using a source control (say Git) or sharing the project with a friend or colleague?

Answer 1

It might be better to reverse the question and think along the lines of what you should exclude since it’s naturally going to be a smaller list. Looking at one of my solutions I can see that I have excluded the following:

• .svn folder
• ReSharper cache folder
• ReSharper user options file
• Visual Studio user options file
• Bin and obj folders under each project

That should get you started.
