From 69571354f4741f791a4a70c68ca082f765f98c88 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marian Buschsieweke Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2022 11:00:53 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] .gitignore: Add .cache and compile_commands.json Enhancing the editor / IDE experience with the use of the language server protocol (lsp) is getting more and more common. The most widely used lsp implementation for C/C++ outside of Redmond is clangd. Clangd uses compile_commands.json, that contains the compiler invocation for each compilation unit, to get the required $CFLAGS to successfully located header files etc. This is best automatically generated from with bear on Makefile based build systems. Hence, there is little value in adding it to the git repo. In addition, clangd generates cache files in the .cache folder. Again, there is no reason in tracking it with git.
