What should I ignore in a C# project when I am using git?

Question

I am new in C# and i am actually working om a project C# using a webService and an edmx database object. I would like to put this project on git but I don't know separate generated files and sources files. Does someone can tell me which kind of files should I ignore in git ?

Thanks,

GitHub has a repository with pre-defined .gitignore files. The one for C# (i.e. Visual Studio, see this file) should be a good starting point:

You can also use [www.gitignore.io](http://www.gitignore.io) . Just type in the tags for C# and Visual Studio, and it'll fetch those .gitignore files from github and merge them for you. – dcastro Jun 25 '14 at 08:34
There is no `C#` tag there. – Golo Roden Jun 25 '14 at 08:37
My bad - just Visual Studio then. – dcastro Jun 25 '14 at 08:41
