我更喜欢根据需要排除一些事情。您不希望在名称中以字符串“bin”或“obj”排除所有内容。至少要确保跟在后面有斜杠。

以下是我在VS2010项目中开始的内容:

bin/
obj/
*.suo
*.user

只是因为我使用ReSharper，还有这个:

_ReSharper*

为构建部署添加了InstallShield忽略。InstallShield是微软在Visual Studio Installer上的新方向，所以我们已经开始在所有新项目中使用它。添加的这一行删除了SingleImage安装文件。其他InstallShield类型可能包括DVD分发。您可能希望添加这些目录名或仅仅添加[Ee]xpress/以防止任何InstallShield LE部署文件进入repo。

下面是我们的.gitignore，用于VS2010 c#项目，使用安装盾LE和安装程序的SingleImage部署:

#OS junk files

在Visual Studio中有一个快捷方式，因为它在2015年及以上版本支持Git开箱即用。对于新的解决方案(或一些没有.git文件夹的解决方案)，使用解决方案资源管理器中的源代码控制功能:

右键单击解决方案并选择将解决方案添加到源代码控制…弹出菜单中的项目。

它会自动初始化.git存储库，将.gitignore和必要的东西添加到您的解决方案，甚至是.gitattributes文件(行结束符等)。

文本将出现在VS控制台:

A new Git repository has been created for you in C:\<path to your solution>
Commit ______ created locally in repository.

完成了!

某些项目可能需要添加*。显到他们的视觉工作室gitignore。输入输出文件。

这是因为新项目的一些Visual Studio项目属性被设置为生成清单文件。

参见“在Visual Studio中生成清单”

但是如果您已经生成了它们，并且它们是静态的(不会随着时间而改变)，那么从.gitignore文件中删除它们是个好主意。

这就是Git for Windows这样的项目刚刚做的事情(适用于Git 2.24, 2019年第四季度)

参见Johannes Schindelin (dscho)的commit aac6ff7(2019年9月05日)。 (由Junio C Hamano—gitster—在commit 59438be中合并，2019年9月30日)

.gitignore: stop ignoring .manifest files On Windows, it is possible to embed additional metadata into an executable by linking in a "manifest", i.e. an XML document that describes capabilities and requirements (such as minimum or maximum Windows version). These XML documents are expected to be stored in .manifest files. At least some Visual Studio versions auto-generate .manifest files when none is specified explicitly, therefore we used to ask Git to ignore them. However, we do have a beautiful .manifest file now: compat/win32/git.manifest, so neither does Visual Studio auto-generate a manifest for us, nor do we want Git to ignore the .manifest files anymore.

对于那些对微软认为应该包含在gitignore中感兴趣的人，这里是Visual Studio 2013 RTM在创建一个新的Git-Repository时自动生成的默认gitignore:

参见:在MSDN上添加默认的.gitignore文件

正如另一张海报所提到的，Visual Studio将其生成为.gitignore的一部分(至少对于MVC 4):

# SQL Server files
App_Data/*.mdf
App_Data/*.ldf

因为你的项目可能是你的解决方案的一个子文件夹，而.gitignore文件存储在解决方案根目录中，这实际上不会触及本地数据库文件(Git在projectfolder/App_Data/*.mdf中看到它们)。为了解释这一点，我修改了这些行:

# SQL Server files
*App_Data/*.mdf
*App_Data/*.ldf
