Gitignore Options

Control which generated files are committed to version control.

Choosing what to commit

After generating instruction files, Aspect Code asks whether you want to add them to .gitignore.

For each generated file, choose:

Keep Local (add to .gitignore) — The file stays on your machine only

Allow Commit (don't add) — The file can be committed and shared with your team
