Recommended .gitignore file for Visual Studio Xamarin project

Question

Looked around I can't seem to find the recommended template .gitignore file for Visual Studio Xamarin project. I looked here as well https://github.com/github/gitignore

Will the Visual Studio one be ok?

https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/master/VisualStudio.gitignore

Thx in advance.

Solution 1

You can check gitignore.io for recommended gitignore files. Here is the one it generated for Visual Studio and Xamarin.

Solution 2

I will use this. It will ignore unnecessary files such as Android Resource.designer.cs and was created by Xamarin.

how did you generate this file? I just tried and it recognizes only VisualStudio but the file you provided link to has both VisualStudio and XamarinStudio? Thanks

I just wrote Visual studio in the box and also wrote Xamarin and then clicked the button, not very complicated

Thanks, got it. Tricky part is to hit enter after each entry; otherwise, wont do it :) Thanks again
