#. gitignore file for Xcode4 and XCODE5 Source projects
#
# Apple bugs, waiting for Apple to Fix/respond:
#
# 15564624-what does the xccheckout file in Xcode5 do? Where ' s the documentation?
#
# Version 2.6
# for latest version, see:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/49478/git-ignore-file-for-xcode-projects
#
# Updates:
#-Fixed typo in ' xccheckout ' line-thanks to @lyck for pointing it out!
#-Fixed the. Idea Optional Ignore. Thanks to @hashier for pointing
#-Finally added "xccheckout" to the ignore. Apple still refuses to answer support requests on this, but in practice it seems you should ignore it.
#-minor tweaks from Jona and Coeur (slightly more precise xc* filtering/names)
# Updates:
#-appended non-standard items DISABLED by default (uncomment if your use those tools)
#-Removed the edit that a so.com moderator made without bothering to ask me
#-Researched CocoaPods lock more carefully, thanks to Gokhan Celiker
# Updates:
#-Fixed the broken "save personal schemes"
#-Added Line-by-line explanations for everything (some were missing)
#
# nb:if You is storing "built" products, this won't work,
# and you should with a different. Gitignore (or none at all)
# This file was for the SOURCE projects, where there is many extra
# files, we want to exclude

# *.lock-this is used and abused by many editors for many different things.

# (lock files is usually local-only file-synchronization on the local FS this should not go in git)
# C.F. The "OPTIONAL" section at bottom though, for tool-specific variations!

# in particular, if you ' re using the CocoaPods, you'll want to comment-out the line:

# Xcode Private settings (window sizes, bookmarks, breakpoints, custom executables, smart groups)

# This is complicated:
#
# Sometimes you need to put the this file in version control.
# Apple designed it poorly-if you use "custom executables", they is
# saved in the this file.
# 99% of projects do is those, so they does not want to version control the this file.
# .. But if you ' re in the 1, comment out the "*.pbxuser"

# Xcode 4-semi-personal Settings
#
# Apple Shared data, Apple put in the wrong folder
# C.F. http://stackoverflow.com/a/19260712/153422
# from Answer:apple says "Don t ignore it"
# from Comments:apple are wrong; Apple code is too buggy to trust; There is no known negative side-effects to ignoring Apple's unofficial advice and instead doing the thing that actively F Ixes bugs in Xcode
# up-to-you, but ... current advice:ignore it.
*.xccheckout

#
# OPTION 1:---------------------------------
# Throw away all personal settings (including custom schemes!
#-unless they is "shared")
# as per Build/and deriveddata/, this ought to has a trailing slash
#
# Nb:this is exclusive with OPTION 2 below
xcuserdata/

# OPTION 2:---------------------------------
# get rid of all personal settings, but KEEP SOME of them
#-Nb:you must manually uncomment the bits you want to keep
#
# nb:this *requires* git v1.8.2 or above; Need to upgrade to latest OS X,
# or manually install git over the top of the OS X version
# Nb:this is exclusive with OPTION 1 above
#
#xcuserdata/**/*

# (requires option 2 above): Personal schemes
#
#!xcuserdata/**/xcschemes/*

####
# XCode 4 Workspaces-more detailed
#
# Workspaces is important! They is a core feature of Xcode-don ' t exclude them:)
#
# Workspace layout is quite spammy. For reference:
#
#/(Root)/
#/(project-name). xcodeproj/
# project.pbxproj
#/project.xcworkspace/

# Xcode 4-deprecated Classes
#
# Allegedly, if you manually ' Deprecate ' your classes, they get moved here.
#
# we ' re using Source-control, so this is a "feature"

# optional:some Well-known tools people use side-by-side with Xcode/ios development
#
# nb:i ' d r Ather not include these this, but Gitignore's design is weak and doesn ' t allow
