Hi Mike, No. What you call “root” is the folder whose top level contains both the 4D Project Database and its GIT local repository.
See “Architecture of a 4D Project” at https://developer.4d.com/docs/en/Project/architecture.html <https://developer.4d.com/docs/en/Project/architecture.html> In the example (shown at the above ULR), I would create a GIT local repository in the “MyFirstProject” folder at the top level. Note there are a lot of folders, but only a few make sense to track: Project and Resources. I’m approaching “ignoring” files by saying ignore everything, and then specifying what to actually track. That seems like less typing and easier to read. So first part says exclude everything. That’s the this line: /* Then I say track these items. Note the exclamation point which means put back. !.gitignore !Resources !Project But within the Resources and Project folders do ignore the following 2-items. Note the absence of the exclamation point: Project/DerivedData Resources/Cache — Jeremy French > On Jan 3, 2020, at 3:47 PM, Mike Kerner via 4D_Tech <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Jeremy, > Are you ignoring root so you catch .4DB, .RSR, .4DL, etc.? ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
