Reasons for making this change:
The
cmake-build-debug
directory is typically generated by the CLion IDE (or other IDEs that use CMake) for managing build files in debug mode. Here are some common reasons to ignore it in version control:Auto-generated files: The
cmake-build-debug
folder contains generated files from CMake that are used to compile your project in debug mode. These files can be easily regenerated from source, making them unnecessary for version control.Platform-specific files: The build directory often includes platform-specific binaries, paths, and configurations, which might vary across different development environments (e.g., different operating systems, compilers, or IDE configurations).
Large binaries and object files: The debug build directory frequently holds binaries, object files, and other large intermediate files that can bloat your repository if included in version control. Ignoring these files helps keep your repository lightweight.
Avoiding merge conflicts: Binary files in the build directory can cause unnecessary merge conflicts when multiple people work on the project and each builds locally. Ignoring the build directory reduces the likelihood of these conflicts.
Sensitive configuration information: Some build configurations may include paths or sensitive environment details specific to your local setup. Excluding this directory helps maintain privacy and keeps these configurations local.
Consistency across environments: Different developers may have different setups, so each person's build directory might differ. Ignoring
cmake-build-debug
encourages each developer to generate their own build files tailored to their local environment.For these reasons, adding
cmake-build-debug
to your.gitignore
is generally recommended.Links to documentation supporting these rule changes:
