The following configuration files were originally created to ensure that a student is able to successfully open this project in Eclipse:
.classpath.project.settings/org.eclipse.buildship.core.prefs
However, VSCode makes changes to these files. Avoid committing and pushing these changes to your repository, otherwise your team members may have issues running the project after pulling these files on their machines.
Yes. If nobody in your team is using Eclipse, then feel free to:
- completely delete these configuration files
- add these files to
.gitignore(so they will not be tracked in the future), as shown in the image below - commit the deleted files and the changes to
.gitignore, and - push the commit to your repository
As a side note, IntelliJ IDEA does not require these Eclipse files, so these are safe to delete.
