what files/folder must be gitted in a ionic project

what files/ folder must be gitted in a ionic project ?

I am a newbie in ionic development and dunno in all these files of a project what is sufficient to keep in a github depot, while some other files can be regenerated if needed during the build command.

Solution

  • Ionic comes already with a .gitignore file which states which files will be ignored. With this default file, you will, for example, not commit folders such as node_modules which can be regenerated with a simple npm install

    P.E An example .gitignore from an Ionic Project

    # Specifies intentionally untracked files to ignore when using Git
# http://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore
