.gitignore file for Xcode4 / OS X Source projects

.gitignore

# Version 2.6
# For latest version, see: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/49478/git-ignore-file-for-xcode-projects
#
# the following commands are really useful when adding this .gitignore to an existing project
# and also when altering this file on an existing project. 
# we need these because .gitignore will NOT ignore files already in the repo.
#
# use THIS to list files already in your repo which .gitignore file would rather ignore
# git ls-files -i -X .gitignore
#
# use THIS to remove files from your repo which are found here
# git rm --cached `git ls-files -i -X .gitignore`
#
# nb: this is all good in theory, when testing not 100%!
# it doesn't seem always identify rogue files

# Xcode temporary files that should never be committed
# NB: NIB/XIB files still exist even on Storyboard projects, so we want this...
*~.nib


# Xcode build files -
# NB: slash on the end, so we only remove the FOLDER, not any files that were badly named "DerivedData"
DerivedData/

# NB: slash on the end, so we only remove the FOLDER, not any files that were badly named "build"
build/


# Xcode private settings (window sizes, bookmarks, breakpoints, custom executables, smart groups)
#
# SOMETIMES you need to put this file in version control.
# Apple designed it poorly - if you use "custom executables", they are saved in this file.
# 99% of projects do NOT use those, so they do NOT want to version control this file.
#  ..but if you're in the 1%, comment out the line "*.pbxuser"

# Xcode 4 - semi-personal settings
# Apple Shared data that Apple put in the wrong folder
# c.f. http://stackoverflow.com/a/19260712/153422
#     FROM ANSWER: Apple says "don't ignore it"
#     FROM COMMENTS: Apple is wrong; Apple code is too buggy to trust; there are no known negative side-effects to ignoring Apple's unofficial advice and instead doing the thing that actively fixes bugs in Xcode
# Up to you, but ... current advice: ignore it.

# OPTION 1: ---------------------------------
#     throw away ALL personal settings (including custom schemes!
#     - unless they are "shared")
# As per build/ and DerivedData/, this ought to have a trailing slash
#
# NB: this is exclusive with OPTION 2 below
xcuserdata/

# OPTION 2: ---------------------------------
#     get rid of ALL personal settings, but KEEP SOME OF THEM
#     - NB: you must manually uncomment the bits you want to keep
#
# NB: this *requires* git v1.8.2 or above; you may need to upgrade to latest OS X,
#    or manually install git over the top of the OS X version
# NB: this is exclusive with OPTION 1 above
#

#     (requires option 2 above): Personal Schemes

# XCode 4 workspaces - more detailed
# Workspaces are important! They are a core feature of Xcode - don't exclude them :)

# Xcode 4 - Deprecated classes
# Allegedly, if you manually "deprecate" your classes, they get moved here.
# We're using source-control, so this is a "feature" that we do not want!
