Automatic management of gitignore¶
ddb generates a bunch of files inside your project sources: target files from templates, binary shims, ...
As those files may depends on your environment configuration, they should not be added to the git repository and must
be added to .gitignore, for them to be generated on each environment without spoiling git repository.
Because adding them manually to .gitignore is a chore, ddb automatically adds all generated files to the nearest
.gitignore file, from top to bottom of filesystem folder hierarchy. The other way round, if a generated file source
is removed, the target file will also be removed from .gitignore file.
Finally, using the enforce configuration, you can force files to be added to the gitignore, even if it is not a file
managed by ddb.
