# Set the merge driver for project and solution files

# Merging from the command prompt will add diff markers to the files if there
# are conflicts (Merging from VS is not affected by the settings below, in VS
# the diff markers are never inserted). Diff markers may cause the following
# file extensions to fail to load in VS. An alternative would be to treat
# these files as binary and thus will always conflict and require user
# intervention with every merge. To do so, just comment the entries below and
# uncomment the group further below

Some useful files to have in the first commit to a repo.

  • .gitattributes: Sets line endings and merge settings to help keep things from getting out of hand
  • .gitignore: Created using gitignore.io, with some of the basics for cross-platform development teams
  • .editorconfig: As long as everyone has EditorConfig installed, this helps keep everyone in sync and try to fend off the tabs vs spaces war
