git ignore question.....

[Lindon]

So I'm adding a LOT of FX (via script node and Faust) to my major product, and when I do a git push to my repositiory Im getting complaints that my .iobj file is bigger than 50MB.

As the .iobj files seem all to be in the DSPNetworks/Binaries/Builds folder structure - can I assume its safe to add this .iobj file type to my .gitignore file?

@Lindon I always add Binaries/ to my ignore file.

You should probably use GIt LFS (Large File Storage) for these.
https://git-lfs.com/

An open source Git extension for versioning large files
Git Large File Storage (LFS) replaces large files such as audio samples, videos, datasets, and graphics with text pointers inside Git, while storing the file contents on a remote server like GitHub.com or GitHub Enterprise.

Nope, just ignore them :)

I always add Binaries/ to my ignore file.

Spot on.

yep good call..and I do....however these are not in Binaries, they are in:

/DspNetworks/Binaries

Should I add this folder to .gitignore too?

@Lindon Strange, that should cover all folders called Binaries. Did you add the gitignore after you'd already commited those files?

You could also try */Binaries

adding in

*/Binaries made git decide everything IN Binaries should be included.....so bad bad git.

I added this :
/DspNetworks/Binaries

to get the preferred outcome....
