when I use git to control my team project,this file always changed:

MyProject.xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace/xcuserdata/user.xcuserdatad/UserInterfaceState.xcuserstate

How can I ignore this file?

When ignoring files with git, you use the .gitignore file in the root of the repository.

Here is a sample that I use with all of my iOS development project at work and personal:

# Xcode
.DS_Store
build/
*.pbxuser
!default.pbxuser
*.mode1v3
!default.mode1v3
*.mode2v3
!default.mode2v3
*.perspectivev3
!default.perspectivev3
*.xcworkspace
!default.xcworkspace
xcuserdata
profile
*.moved-aside
DerivedData
*.hmap
*.ipa
.idea/
# Pods - for those of you who use CocoaPods
Pods
xcuserdata/*

Keep note that just adding it to the gitignore will do little of anything. You also need to remove the file(s) from tracking.

You can do this with: git rm --cached xcuserdata/* which will remove it from being tracked, but leave it on the file system.

For more information on gitignore and how it works, I recommend reading the scm documentation on it at http://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore

  • first thanks a lot. here i still have a question that when ignored this file, Will it effect the project on git or not?Also, will it make a trouble to the project or to my colleague? – fernando Apr 28 '15 at 11:28
  • Creating that file, you want to commit it so that your colleague has it in his local version as well. He/She will then be able to do their changes as they feel like without screwing with the repository itself. I implemented this in our first project about 6 months into it with no issues. – Justin Apr 29 '15 at 01:01

  • After adding files to the .gitignore file, to ignore those files we have to execute some commands.

  • To ignore the files which we mentioned in the .gitignore file, we have to execute the following commands.

    git rm -r --cached . git add . git commit -m ".gitignore is now working"

  • Please refer this question once.
