Why I don't commit generated files to master

Read Original

This article details a developer's experience and reasoning for no longer committing generated files (like concatenated, compiled, and minified library builds) to the master branch of a Git repository. It outlines the problems this practice causes, including cluttered git history, unreadable diffs, and complications for open-source contributors who might mistakenly edit generated files.
