.gitignore recommendations/suggestions for CodeWarrior 11 with Processor Expert

[Alex_ODonnell]

I know this question has been asked for MCUXpresso, but I can't find it for CodeWarrior 11.

Between log files, history, metadata, settings, and generated files I am finding my first commit of a Processor Expert project for and S08 is 150 files, or there abouts, even after a `clean all`.

I'm trying to piece together a safe `.gitignore` that will keep the essential project configuration, and not any generated file.  I'm not even sure I want settings for the GUI layout as every team member is using a different view.

Related conversations seem to be:

• MCUXpresso - What To Commit To Repository? - NXP Community
• MCUXpresso IDE - NXP Community
• Solved: Files that should be put under source control - NXP Community

Thanks

Alex

Hi Alice,

I managed to fix my .gitignore over the weekend, mostly thanks to Erich's blog.

The linked page really helped with the Processor Expert files.

With the help of other pages on the blog, I realized that my big mistake had been adding my workspace to my repository and not just the projects.

As of now, my project safely moves from machine to machine via GitHub.  I am getting identical binaries from my development machine and my build system. No files were lost, and no large number of log, lock, and config files asked to be updated every time I clean or build.

Cheers

Alex
