Should we (git / version control) track .firebase folder for Firebase Hosting?


I have hosted my Flutter app using Firebase Hosting. After hosting it, I noticed that a .firebase folder was created that contains just one file, hosting.<alphanumeric>.cache.

Should I track the contents of the .firebase folder? Or should I add the .firebase folder to the .gitignore?


Solution

  • It is there to make your hosting deplyoment faster. It is used to check if files have changed since the last deployment.

    It is recommended to put it to your .gitignore file.
