Create new CodeComposerStudio.gitignore

[wolf99]

gitignore for Texas Instruments embedded C/C++ IDE.
Application homepage: http://www.ti.com/tool/CCSTUDIO
Source control documentation link: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Source_control_with_CCS
Added to provide previously unprovided support for the IDE.
Though the IDE is based on Eclpise CDT, the ignore recommendations are a bit different than for standard eclipse.

Thanks for this. Is this IDE something that a lot of people use (with git)? Without knowing anything about it, I have a feeling that it might be a bit niche for this collection.

[wolf99]

I dont have numbers, but TI issue Code Compser Studio IDE, for free in a lot of cases, for use with a lot of their controllers and processors (MSP430, C2000 series, SimpleLink, TM4x series, TMS570 & RM4 series, Sitara series, Multicore DSP and ARM including KeyStone series, F24x/C24x series, C3x/C4x series, etc) including devices used on their LaunchPad system - similar to Pi/Arduino/etc...
So I'd imagine at least a large portion of the users of these processors use the IDE... Git is baked right into the IDE with the eclipse eGit plugin... whether the users actually use git or not I don't know.
A cursory search on GitHub shows only a few hundred references to TI or code composer, but I imagine most repositories used for this type of development would be private.

Just to add, in case you don't know, that a bunch of those devices are used in things like android devices, kindles, devices from samsung, blackbery, archos, nokia, projector devices, etc etc. Others are used in things from car vision systems to intelligent thermostats (e.g. the nest) or industrial power supplies. If only a fraction of those developments used the vendor-recommended IDE I'd hazard a guess that its more than use, say, Dart or Go on a production basis. What I've submitted is likely only a very barebones start to what the industry might use here and I would hope that others would contribute to it also.

Most of the project templates maintained here don't have a header like this. The file name should be good enough to distinguish.

[wolf99]

Thanks @shiftkey, rebased and edited as you recommend, in #8397fb5b

[wolf99]

Is this likely to get merged? Is further information or are changes required?
It would be really great to have this in the project and then available through gitignore.io.

Until this gets merged, you could try to get it into https://github.com/dvcs/gitignore.

[wolf99]

@koppor great. in fact I see this is already added and available, awesome! 🙌

[wolf99]

Yo, if you don't want this in the project, please close the request.
If you do, please could ye merge 🤷

[koppor]

As per #2889 (comment), possible the files should be moved into the community/embedded/ sub directory?

[wolf99]

Have rebased again and moved as suggested.

But @koppor, are you able to explain the purpose of this community directory?
The spiel from the README is not very clear

"... which don't currently belong in the mainstream templates ..."

Looking at the files that are in the root directory it seems to be pretty arbitrary as to which technologies, languages and tools get covered there and which do not.

FWIW it's an open source GitHub repo... by definition the entire thing is community 🤷

(For that matter, I'm even still unclear as to the criteria delineating root and Global)

[wolf99]

I see this is in https://github.com/toptal/gitignore/blob/master/templates/CodeComposerStudio.gitignore .
Not interested in keeping this PR up to date anymore.
