<![CDATA[What should be gitignored]]>I see several files being automatically generated by Qt Design Studio, like:

*.qmlproject.qtds
insight
qmlcomponents
qmlmodules
src/import_qml_plugins.h

Should they be versioned controlled?

  • copy (clone) the code to another location
  • try to compile & run it
  • observe all results

If project does not compile or run - some of those generated files are necessary. If project does not open or contains links to old location, carries settings from old location - you need to ignore (remove) some files to keep the repo clean from user-specific settings.
