Are gitignore files created in my project?

Question

I am trying to manage a local copy of a project that I am working on using EGit.

I try when there is a push from other guys. However, there are files that show that I have uncommitted changes in my local repository, but I have not made any changes. I try to resolve them by manually identifying these changes and finding that they are from gitignore files that I myself did not create (the files also sometimes show errors).

Is it possible that gitignore files are automatically created? How can I maintain a synchronized local repo state? I am using Eclipse Kepler.

Answer 1

It is possible that the "Automatically ignore derived resources" settings trigger the generation / modification of .gitignore .
This is a consequence of error 297674 , adding this function to EGit 2.3 (Q2 2013).

See the EGit Tutorial :

You can also configure Eclipse to automatically ignore derived resources, for example. class using the parameter Window → Preferences → Team → Git → Projects → Automatically ignore derived resources ...

Answer 2

sir, why is it created in the bin folder instead of the top source code folder? Does it work in the bin folder for all source code? or I create another in the top folder.
