I'm slightly confused, because it sounds like you want git, a version
control system, to somehow make up for xcode not creating an MSBuild
file for use in Visual Studio :)

If I've understood your question I think you are much more likely to get
an answer on a VS-related mailing list.

Personlly I'd solve this particular problem with CMake
().

Nope, something that you can easily try out for yourself ;)

Decide if you want to put that in the repo. If you think you may publish
this project to somewhere like GitHub (so potentially, others will work on
this project later), you shouldn't. In this case, put the project file to
.gitignore. Also, you may want to remove it from the repo with "git rm
--cached projectfile" and commit that change. --cached means it won't get
deleted from the disk, only from the repository ("database" of Git).

If you removed the xcode stuff, this problem is already gone, except mayba
VS does the same (create files for your solutions), so you may want to
ignore them, too, just like before.

I think I already answered that; it won't get deleted. "git rm" would
delete them from the disk *and* the repo; if you use cached, it gets
deleted from the repo only (also see [1] for some lessons learned about
this).

[git-users] Using Two IDEs ( xCode and VS 2015) for one project

['JCL' via Git for human beings]

Hello-

I am struggling to get this right..

I do alot of work on my laptop using xCode.
My desktop is a win10 machine using VS.

I am  using git on my mac but only using it on one machine.

I would like to use both machines to edit and commit to my assignments, etc.

My question is how may I accomplish this...I have exhausted google searches 
and 
get more confused than anything, and I am sure this is simple.

When I create an xCode project, I will create multiple targets
as there might be 2 or 3 problems per assignment.
Xcode then creates a project file, etc.

When I go to my windows PC, if I go into VS and clone the repo,
there is not a compatible project file ( obviously, as its not xCode).

What is the simplest way to accomplish this?  Keep in 
mind I am a beginner with git.

Also, if I use a gitignore file and put it in the repo after the 
repo has already had commits, will it drop and delete the 
now ignored files moving forward?

Thanks in advance.
