Yeah, I know. There’s also .filters files for the folder structure inside the
projects, but for now, I’ve decided to make changes to .vpc files instead of
modifying solution/project files because of easier porting later on (also due
to the suggestion of that Valve? developer,
http://steamcommunity.com/app/211/discussions/1/630800445305139250/?insideModal=1).
If I become more familiar with the formats, I might write a little tool for
that, so I don’t have to add files and filters manually, but for now, that’ll
do.

The project files are like this:
The .sln and .vcproj files contain the project folder structure, dependencies,
references, etc. These you should be committing. However, make sure to edit
property stuff like the Debug Command Line paths to use Environment Variables.
You can easily call env vars by doing $(ENV_NAME). Create a
readme.txt/setup.txt that lists these env vars and commit it, so you/others
know what to setup.
The ones that are more user specific, with things like color schemes, syntax
highlighting, etc. would be in the .suo file. These are usually hidden files,
but might not be, and you can have git/svn ignore these. You can also ignore
all the build stuff like obj/property folders. .pdb files are usually quite
large, so you can ignore them too, unless you have a stable build and you need
it for debugging purposes.

Ok, this question is more management-related: I’m keeping my modified SDK code
in a Github repo, but I’d like to be able to work on multiple devices. By
default, project files are not synced, so the problem is, that while I sync all
my source files and have them e.g. on my laptop, they are not in their
respective places in the project and I’d have to add them manually on the other
device, which is tedious and not really possible when I’m away from my PC,
since I don't remember the exact place where I’ve put them.
This brings me to my question: should I just sync project/solution/filters
files OR should I add some lines to the .vpc file every time I add a new
file/filter? The latter seems to be a good solution when attempting to compile
on Linux at a later point, but I’d probably have to write a tool for that,
since adding filenames manually is tedious and error prone.
What’s your opinion on that?
