How to ignore files when doing commit from VS to Mac to VSTS?
I'm working on a ASP.Net MVC project in Visual Studio for Mac. The version control we are using is Azure DevOps (previously called VSTS). So, I have checkout the code and did some modifications.
The thing here is that every time I edit something, VS to Mac shows some additional files to commit. Usually .dll, .pdb, .cache files, etc.
Is there a way to ignore those files when committing the original changes? Or is it normal?
There is not any version control called VSTS. VSTS is the previous name of Azure DevOps.
In Azure DevOps, there is only Git (distributed) and TFVC (centralized)
If you are using TFVC, you should use .tfignore to exclude those dlls. How to you could refer my answer in this link.
If you are using Git, you could use .gitignore file to handle it. Just like when working with Windows, also in Mac you are not allowed to create a file which starts with a dot.
You could take a look at the sample here: How to create a .gitignore file for Visual Studio projects in Mac
