In the previous article, we learned about how to clone an existing Git repository to a local system. Now you have a 'LOCAL' git Repo on your pc, which VS will read from,but without a github Repo, and you will see a small blue lock icon next to each file in the solution that was added to git and a red circle at the ignored projectįor more information about. It might ask you to save the solution before you continue Right click on the solution and choose 'Add Solution to Source Control.' Now add your sensitive project folder to the '.gitignore.txt' file at any line that doesn't contain #, so just add it at the very end, and it should look something like this.# Backup & report files from converting an old project file # Since there are multiple workflows, uncomment next line to ignore bower_components # but keep track of directories ending in. # Windows Store app package directories and files # NuGet v3's project.json files produces more ignoreable files # Uncomment if necessary however generally it will be regenerated when needed # except build/, which is used as an MSBuild target. # The packages folder can be ignored because of Package Restore
