This is an unofficial repository providing an initial/template .gitignore file for an IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation Project. Note: these templates are primarily intended for use with hybrid projects, and it is likely they may not be directly suitable for native-first projects. There is no official IBM support for these artifacts. We are attempting to follow the same principles as GitHub's own gitignore project. We will gladly accept any pull request with corrections or clarifications (especially explanatory comments).

1. Include the contents of the appropriate <VERSION>.gitignore file in your .gitignore file, located at the root of your MFP project (Note: not your Eclipse workspace).
2. MFP requires some directories to be present, but Git does not check in empty directories. .gitkeep files ensure these directories are present when developers clone the Git repository. .gitkeep files should be created in the following directories:
3. server/java
4. server/lib
5. apps
6. adapters/ADAPTER_NAME/lib (for all Java adapters)

Prior to version 6.3, IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation was known as IBM Worklight Foundation, so there are equivalent .gitignore files here for versions 6.1 and 6.2. This repository was formerly known as worklight-gitignore.
