Title: Github & Gitignore
Post by Christopher Cooper on Jul 14^th, 2020 at 9:37am

Hi,

I have decided to move from the Arduino IDE to Visual -Studio using Visual Micro and Github. Finding it a little tough, but persevering.

I would like to limit the files which are uploaded/synced to Github to ".ino", ".cpp" and ".h" so my repository is tidy.

Do I have to manually add all of the other extensions from the Visual Micro folders or is there a quick and easy way to only sync these file types?

Thanks.

Regards,

Christoper

You should be able to use the Solution Explorer / Check In Windows within VS to Ignore / Add files (it just edits the gitignore for you), which is a lot easier than editing the text file manually.

The below YouTube Video shows this, and specifically at 5:35 it shows ignoring folders / files (process is the same for include if excluded)

Does this help?
