Hey folks,

The title is self-descriptive.
I guess that the main problem would be to choose what to include is in the gitignore.
IMHO, it would make sense to include OS and editor related gitignore.

Could we imagine that the generation of the .gitignore is a parameter of the template?

Any thought?
Cheers

This seed seems too complicated for a minimum sbt project, in the way it sets up the project and dependencies. I suggest changing this template to a minimal-boilerplate version and perhaps creating another that demonstrates more advanced concepts.

Ideally, we would be using this seed as the default template when creating an sbt project from IntelliJ IDEA. I would be happy to contribute appropriate changes if you agree.

Given that this seed is also used in the sbt "Getting started", should it use the current sbt version (also in the sbt docs for that matter :) )?
http://www.scala-sbt.org/1.x/docs/Hello.html

It would be nice if it would be possible to define own organization and organizationName during project initialisation.

Usually project creation doesn't happen very often, but since this is a basic sbt template I'm using it to create projects for my experiments and I do it a lot. Now I have to rename those fields to my liking and to change package structure for every project I'm creating. Of cause there is several workarounds, but It would be nice if this template would give the ability to define those values during project initialisation and even better to be able to pass them as command line parameters.

A fixed reference to sbt "0.13.13" is set in the properties file.
Can it be replaced by:
sbt sbtVersion | tail -n 1 | grep -oE '\d+.\d+.\d+'

This way you will not need to download 2 versions of sbt

Hi,
I am new to sbt.i am installing as per documentation everything is fine but when i run this example i am getting this errors.please suggest what i need to change or anything i missed?
