Hey everyone, in this article, I'm going to show you how to exclude bin and obj folders from Git to keep your repository clean and optimized for development. The bin and obj folders contain compiled code and build artifacts, and since they can be regenerated from the source code, there's no need to track them in version control. To exclude these folders, you can create a .gitignore file in the root directory of your repository if you don't already have one. Then, add the following lines to the .gitignore file:
# Exclude bin and obj folders
/bin/
/obj/
These lines tell Git to ignore any changes or additions in the bin and obj folders. Now, when you run 'git status', you'll see that the bin and obj folders are no longer tracked by Git. This keeps your repository clean and prevents unnecessary large files from being added to your version control history. It also helps speed up operations like cloning and pulling the repository, as Git doesn't have to handle large binary files. So, remember to always exclude the bin and obj folders from your Git repository to maintain a clean and efficient development environment. Happy coding!
