what should be the best gitignore for grails3.1.x?

Question

Since grails 3.1.x has major changes, what would be appropriate .gitignore?

For now, I've used default grails .gitignore

Answer 1

My team usually works on different OS (Win/Lin) and various collaboration tools and editors. So I've developed a standard .gitignore using IntelliJ for my team which works fine on many systems and editors. Here is is:

# Created by .ignore support plugin (hsz.mobi)
### Grails template
# .gitignore for Grails 1.2 and 1.3
# Although this should work for most versions of grails, it is
# suggested that you use the "grails integrate-with --git" command
# to generate your .gitignore file.

# web application files
/web-app/WEB-INF/classes

# default HSQL database files
/prodDb.*
/devDb.*

# general HSQL database files
*Db.properties
*Db.script

# logs
/stacktrace.log
/test/reports
/logs

# project release file
/*.war

# plugin release files
/*.zip
/plugin.xml

# older plugin install locations

/web-app/plugins

# "temporary" build files
/target
