Dart: default gitignore?

Question

I created a new app and the Dart Editor (M4) created a slew of files and folders. Now I\'m not sure which I can safely put in the gitignore. Here\'s the tree:

Answer 1

Dart default

.packages      # mapping file from package names to local path
packages       # until `--no-package-symlinks` is the default
build/         # contains the output of `pub build`
.pubspec.lock  # controversial - Dart guideline is to only commit
               #     for applications but not for packages
.pub/          # cache files generated by `pub` 
               # .pub was moved to .dart_tool/.pub

build The new https://github.com/dart-lang/build package introduces a

.dart_tool/

directory which should be excluded.

When it comes to generated files it is generally best to not submit them to source control, but a specific Builder may provide a recommendation otherwise.
