I have created my first git repository and trying to put Spring Boot project.
In the initial git asked to configure ".gitignore" file but i was not sure what files must (supposed to) be in, so i ignored ?
In my first commit-push, i see several files APART FROM pom.xml and some of my .java files like,
.classpath
.gitignore
.project
.settings/org.eclipse.core.resources.prefs
.settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs
.settings/org.eclipse.m2e.core.prefs
And i am not sure why they are here ?
are they supposed to be there ?
How and where to create .gitignore file ?

Ignored files are usually build artifacts and machine generated files that can be derived from your repository source or should otherwise not be committed. Some common examples are: dependency caches, such as the contents of /node_modules or /packages. compiled code, such as .o , .pyc , and .class files.
gitignore should list the names or name-patterns of files that will be found in work-trees when working with your project, but that should not be committed to the project. In other words, it's not OS-specific, it's project-specific.
gitignore ignores only untracked files. Your files are marked as modified - meaning they were committed in the past, and git now tracks them. To ignore them, you first need to delete them, git rm them, commit and then ignore them.
Have a look into https://www.gitignore.io/ There you can create your recommended gitignore based on what you are using.
For Eclipse it says:
# Created by https://www.gitignore.io/api/eclipse

*.tmp

*.swp
*~.nib
local.properties

.externalToolBuilders/
# Locally stored "Eclipse launch configurations"
*.launch
# PyDev specific (Python IDE for Eclipse)

.cproject
# Java annotation processor (APT)
.factorypath
# PDT-specific (PHP Development Tools)

I had many discussions in teams whether to put IDE based files in GIT or not. Some like it, some say every developer knows how to configure their IDE for the project based on the pom.xml.
My opinion now also is, keep away all IDE files from VCS.
