Create a .gitignore file for the project. about shortweb HOT 5 CLOSED

I will list following files and folders

db.sqlite3
shorturl/migrations
shorturl/pycache
shortweb/pycache

from shortweb.

And the settings.py file as well. Better to upload settings.py.example while uploading. Anything else needed according to you?

from shortweb.

No Settings.py might get frequently updated and changed during the course of development as the project & codebase will expand.
I don't think so that we should add settings.py file.
We can add wsgi.py file.

Yes that is what i am saying. People will change the settings.py according to their wishes and everyone will have his own settings.py in his or her PR. Sometimes the settings.py contains important information. So better create an example file providing the barebones of the whole thing and omit the original settings.py file while doing git push.
Another thing is that when you do a git pull from remote the settings.py may get changed creating confusions.

Yes, got your point. we should include settings.py file also.
So the proposed list of files and folders in .gitignore is
*.sqlite3
migrations/
__ pycache __ /
shortweb/settings.py
shortweb/wsgi.py

from shortweb.
