For LabWindows/CVI we have source code for 4 different utilities. I am looking to get these into our version control system. We use GIT but this would apply to any of the possible version control systems.
I adminster our GIT repository and code in C for embedded systems. However, I was not the developer of the LabView CVI projects we did here and I am trying to help the developer here get his code into the GIT repository.
In general, it is best practice to have the version control system ignore files and folders from your project folder that are generated by the compiler. For LabWindows/CVI I am less certain what files and folders should be ignored and what files are actual project setting files and any needed source or library files that should get checked into source (well the source files the developer created are pretty obvious, its the files that might be library code provided by compiler I am concerned about).
What folders, files or file extensions should I put in the .gitignore file?
