@shiftkey Can you take a look at this PR? Thanks! |
|
@shiftkey +1 to merge this PR. None of the .gitignore templates actually cover this, and as it is the default output folder for CMake projects in Visual Studio, that makes sense to add it for the Visual Studio template. |
|
Linked to my PR #3576, the following documentation also points out the "out" folder.

|
This would be really useful as I always need to add out/ to the my .gitignore files |
|
This change went into Visual Studio 16.9 around 5 years ago. It would be nice to keep the .gitignore file automatically added in Visual Studio in sync with this one. Please take a moment to review the changes. @wirecat |
