Are you tired of cluttering up your Git repository with unnecessary 'bin' and 'obj' folders? I've got you covered with a simple guide on how to exclude them from your repository. Let's get started!
Step 1: Create a .gitignore file
First things first, you need to create a .gitignore file in the root directory of your Git repository if you don't already have one. This file will contain a list of files and folders that Git should ignore.
Step 2: Add 'bin' and 'obj' to .gitignore
Open the .gitignore file and add the following lines to exclude the 'bin' and 'obj' folders:
```
bin/
obj/
```
These lines tell Git to ignore any folder named 'bin' and 'obj' that it comes across.
Step 3: Commit the .gitignore file
Once you've added the 'bin' and 'obj' folders to the .gitignore file, you need to commit the file to your repository. Use the following commands to stage and commit the changes:
```
git add .gitignore
git commit -m 'Exclude bin and obj folders from repository'
git push
```
And that's it! You've successfully excluded the 'bin' and 'obj' folders from your Git repository. Now, when you make changes and commit them, you won't see those pesky folders cluttering up your repository.
By following these simple steps, you can keep your Git repository clean and organized, making it easier to collaborate with others and maintain a tidy codebase.
So, next time you're working with Git and want to exclude 'bin' and 'obj' folders, remember to create a .gitignore file, add the folders to it, and commit the changes. Your fellow developers will thank you for keeping the repository clean and clutter-free. Happy coding!
