When developing in project mode and using Git as the version control system, it is a good idea to have a gitignore file that specifies which files in the project to not track. To automatically create a default gitignore file, go to 4D Preferences > General and toggle ON the “Create .gitignore file” setting.



This will allow 4D to generate a default gitignore file for every new project. The .gitignore will be a hidden file next to the Project and Data folders.
