From a65b95938c393e509fd5f8cda63d094c43828947 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Munkhoff Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2014 16:21:03 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Add Global/SlickEdit.gitignore file MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This commit adds a global ignore file for SlickEdit, a commercial editor. SlickEdit will create the following files when the user sets up a workspace: *.vpw Workspace file. Contains a list of project files associated with the workspace. *.vpj Project file. Contains the project’s settings, including the list of source files. *.vpwhist Workspace history file for Windows. Contains user session information (list of open files, debugger breakpoints, etc.) *.vpwhistu Workspace history file for UNIX/Linux/MacOSX. (Same as above.) *.vtg Workspace tag file. Contains a database of source code symbols. It is assumed that GitHub users will generally not want to store their workspace and project files in a repository, so those files are ignored globally. However, those files do not contain user-specific data so they could be stored in a repository and shared among developers if desired for a particular project. This can be done by adding rules like ’!*.vpw’ and ‘!*.vpj’ to the project’s .gitignore file. The workspace history and tag files contain user-specific data, so they should not be stored in a repository. For more information, download the PDF user guide from: http://www.slickedit.com/products/slickedit/product-documentation Note: The user guide is 1400 pages long and over 13MB in size. Searching for ‘vpwhist’ will lead to the section that discusses storing these files in a repository. --- Global/SlickEdit.gitignore | 20 ++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 20 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Global/SlickEdit.gitignore diff --git a/Global/SlickEdit.gitignore b/Global/SlickEdit.gitignore new file mode 100644 index 00000000..e3d960ac --- /dev/null +++ b/Global/SlickEdit.gitignore @@ -0,0 +1,20 @@ +# SlickEdit workspace and project files are ignored by default because +# typically they are considered to be developer-specific and not part of a +# project.
