Description
Motivation
A number of .txt
,.bin
, .dat
and .stream
files are created when running tests with fpm test
on the stdlib-fpm
branch. However, a .gitignore
file is missing so the files end up cluttering the git diff
and need to be manually deleted every time. While most of the development work will be done from the master
branch, I think it is useful to be able to switch to the stdlib-fpm
branch to try things out.
Prior Art
There is a .gitignore
file on the master
(branch name also needs change?) branch so some entries can be copied over during deployment.
Additional Information
I believe it would be more advantageous to avoid placing any files generated by tests directly in the project's root directory. Instead, they could be stored, for instance, in a build/test
or tmp/test
folder (open for suggestions). However, I acknowledge that for the time being, adding a .gitignore
file is the simplest solution.
