How to Setup a Gitignore File for a Godot Git Project

Greetings, in this Godot Git tutorial we shall be looking at how to setup a gitignore file for your Godot project. This is a super quick tutorial and we will be using the gitignore that is the default option Github provides. You can customise this gitignore to suit the needs of your project.

Here is a tutorial on how to setup your Godot project with git version control using github desktop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nG71kB1EvM

To create a gitignore file, we need to go to our Godot project that we have setup with git. Then we need to make a file, this file will have no name and will have the .gitignore file extension.

COPY THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO TYPE THE Git Ignore: .gitignore

Once we have the gitignore created, we need to add some text to the file.

HERE IS WHERE YOU CAN FIND THE TEXT FOR THE GITIGNORE: https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/main/Godot.gitignore

You can open the gitignore using any text editor. Then paste the text into the gitignore file. After that, save the file and voila, the gitignore will tell this git repo to ingore certain files. These files don't need to be pushed and pulled by git as they are either temp files or files Godot will generate locally.

Also make sure the gitignore is in the root of the project directory. If you are unsure what that means, put the gitignore where I put in in this Godot github tutorial.

Thanks for watching this tutorial on how to setup a gitignore file for a Godot Git project.

This will work for any git project, you don't have to use github desktop!
