I am checking code for a Visual Studio project into source control. Is it a best practice to check in empty bin and obj folders or should I let the IDE create them for everyone? I imagine the answer could be it doesn't matter but I was wondering if one choice over the the other has some advantage I cannot see.
For obj
and bin
folders, I prefer to add them to the ignore list for that directory. That way, they and their contents don't show up if you select the option to "show unversioned files", and no one would be confused about the need to add
them or the contents.
