Adding an XCode project to Git
When creating a new project in Xcode it is best to leave the “Create Git repository” box unchecked because it will immediately add all files to Git, including those that are specific to you and are of no interest to anyone else. Instead you can run this script from the project folder, which will add only the files that should be under version control:
#!/bin/bash -x
# create the ignore file
cat > .gitignore <<_EOF_
# Xcode
#
.DS_Store
build/
*.pbxuser
!default.pbxuser
*.mode1v3
!default.mode1v3
*.mode2v3
!default.mode2v3
*.perspectivev3
!default.perspectivev3
xcuserdata
*.xccheckout
*.moved-aside
DerivedData
*.hmap
*.ipa
# CocoaPods
#
# We recommend against adding the Pods directory to your .gitignore. However
# you should judge for yourself, the pros and cons are mentioned at:
# http://guides.cocoapods.org/using/using-cocoapods.html#should-i-ignore-the-pods-directory-in-source-control?
#
# Pods/
_EOF_
git init
git add .
git commit -m 'Initial commit'
