boilerplate has a 4mb footprint - why?


I'm using eclipse for html5, js & css3.

On starting a new project, eclipse offered to start it using boilerplate. After a little research, it seemed a good thing to try. But on zipping the project up to send to a tester, I found I had a small app with a very large 4mb footprint...

I've found the culprit in myProject/.git/objects/pack the file is pack-8bbfc27fb4f49b9b8418123879a14af5e5dd861c.pack and is 3.8mb

Any ideas what this is for? Is it something eclipse has added?

Cheers

  • The .git directory is only used by the Git version control system. We use Git - as many other open source projects do - to manage the source code of the project.
