@jsulm Thanks I am using it at present.

I want to create a Qt based application and put it in the Github, so that my other friends can contribute to it without the need of Qt creator and Qt Visual Studi tools. As they might be using other IDE.
So how & what Qt related library/ other files do i need to upload to github?

You don't need to upload Qt stuff, just your source code. The only question is which build system do you want to use?

cmake

without the necessay Qt files?

By downloading/installing their own Qt framework files...

@reddy9pp As @Pablo-J-Rogina said: they need to install Qt. You're not going to share the compiler for example, right? Things like compiler, frameworks, ... are usually not put into VCS like Git. Only source code, resource files, files for the build system (like CMakeLists.txt) and what ever belongs directly to the project are uploaded to VCS.
