I’m trying to add some features to a five-year old Java/Matisse project. I’d also like to put it under source control using Git — specifically TortoiseGit, since that’s what I’m used to. One of the first things I’d like to do is create a reasonable .gitignore file, one that takes the specifics of MyEclipse and Matisse4MyEclipse into account (if those choices create any special requirements).

Where can I find such a file or some hints on crafting one?

Thanks,
R

Richly,

Please check this tutorial for creating a .gitignore file (Section 15.3):
http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipseGit/article.html

The tutorial holds good for MyEclipse too as MyEclipse is based on Eclipse.

Sample .gitignore file for a Java Eclipse project : http://www.bmchild.com/2012/06/git-ignore-for-java-eclipse-project.html

I suggest you also look up on the web for more information on creating the .gitignore file and the contents of the file.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions.
