Git integration
Hello Fabricators,
I am currently setting up a Fabric workspace with git integration. I am not a expert in git, so I have a question. Is it possible to add to the .gitignore file certains artifacts that I want to not commit ? For example, I have a dev workspace where I will have some test artifacts, what I want is, when commiting the changes in the workspace, I want to avoid those test artifacts to be cmommited.
Thanks
I did a post that went into detail about Git integration a while back that covers it, I hope it helps.

Hi p_da ,

Thank you.
My advice tends to be to ignore the .gitgnore. For your scenario, I would recommend looking to use the branch out to new workspace feature to create Feature branches/workspaces and then do a pull request for only the items you want to commit back to your Dev workspace instead.
I hope this helps?
Thanks. As I'm new to git, I will figure it out how the checkout works. But thanks for the suggestion

Hi p_da ,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.By setting up the .gitignore file correctly, you can avoid committing unnecessary test artifacts while continuing to manage the rest of your workspace efficiently.
But please check out deployment pipelines this may be more suited for your use case.
