gitignore template for flex projects

Posted on by

Hi All,

Well, me being an enthusiastic flex developer is no secret, nor me being a GIT fan-boy.

I thought it will be helpful to post my template for the gitignore files in all repositories containing flex projects.

This is how it looks like:

.DS_Store
.actionScriptProperties
.flexProperties
.project
.settings/*
bin-debug/*

The reason I’m ignoring all the settings files and the properties files is because all of these are environment specific, often not all developers on the team use the same settings and properties and that can break the entire working process.

    perhaps add bin-release/ as well?

  • Greg Loesch

    Thanks. This is the gitignore info I was looking for. You keep bin-release around for the sake of deployment?

      I am not using the bin-release for deployment, usually I have an ANT script for that.
      I am keeping a version of the built application so I can look at the application at different points of the release build both to see progress.
