我通常在客户端的应用程序上工作。在这种情况下，我也将Pods目录添加到repo中，以确保在任何给定的时间，任何开发人员都可以进行签出、构建和运行。

如果这是我们自己的应用程序，我可能会排除Pods目录，直到我有一段时间不会使用它。

事实上，我必须得出结论，相对于纯用户的观点，我可能不是回答你的问题的最佳人选:)我会在https://twitter.com/CocoaPodsOrg上发布关于这个问题的推文。

Cocoapod文档中直接给出了答案。你可以看看“http://guides.cocoapods.org/using/using-cocoapods.html#should-i-ignore-the-pods-directory-in-source-control”。

Whether or not you check in your Pods folder is up to you, as workflows vary from project to project. We recommend that you keep the Pods directory under source control, and don't add it to your .gitignore. But ultimately this decision is up to you: Benefits of checking in the Pods directory After cloning the repo, the project can immediately build and run, even without having CocoaPods installed on the machine. There is no need to run pod install, and no Internet connection is necessary. The Pod artifacts (code/libraries) are always available, even if the source of a Pod (e.g. GitHub) were to go down. The Pod artifacts are guaranteed to be identical to those in the original installation after cloning the repo. Benefits of ignoring the Pods directory The source control repo will be smaller and take up less space. As long as the sources (e.g. GitHub) for all Pods are available, CocoaPods is generally able to recreate the same installation. (Technically there is no guarantee that running pod install will fetch and recreate identical artifacts when not using a commit SHA in the Podfile. This is especially true when using zip files in the Podfile.) There won't be any conflicts to deal with when performing source control operations, such as merging branches with different Pod versions. Whether or not you check in the Pods directory, the Podfile and Podfile.lock should always be kept under version control.

理论上，您应该在Pods目录中进行检查。在实践中，这并不总是有效的。许多pod都超过了github文件的大小限制，所以如果你使用github，你将会在检查pods目录时遇到问题。

我更喜欢与Podfile和Podfile一起提交Pods目录。锁定，以确保我的团队中的任何人都可以随时签出源代码，他们不必担心任何事情或做额外的事情来使其工作。

如果您在某个pod中修复了一个错误，或者根据需要修改了一些行为，但如果没有提交，这些更改将无法在其他机器上使用，那么这也会有所帮助。

忽略不必要的目录:

xcuserdata/

是否检入Pods文件夹取决于您，因为工作流程因项目而异。我们建议您将Pods目录置于源代码控制之下，不要将其添加到.gitignore中。但最终这个决定取决于你:

签入Pods目录的好处

克隆repo之后，项目可以立即构建和运行，甚至不需要在机器上安装CocoaPods。不需要运行pod install，也不需要连接互联网。 Pod构件(代码/库)总是可用的，即使Pod的源(例如GitHub)宕机。 克隆repo后，Pod工件保证与原始安装中的工件相同。

我建议使用GitHub的Objective-C gitignore。 具体来说，最佳实践是:

Podfile必须始终处于源代码控制之下。 Podfile。Lock必须始终处于源代码控制之下。 CocoaPods生成的工作区应该保持在源代码控制之下。 任何使用:path选项引用的Pod都应该保存在源代码控制下。 ./Pods文件夹可以保存在源代码控制下。

尽管Pods文件夹是一个构建工件，但在决定是否将其置于源代码控制之下时，您可能会考虑以下原因:

CocoaPods is not a package manager so the original source of the library could be removed in future by the author. If the Pods folder is included in source control, it is not necessary to install CocoaPods to run the project as the checkout would suffice. CocoaPods is still work in progress and there are options which don’t always lead to the same result (for example the :head and the :git options currently are not using the commits stored in the Podfile.lock). There are less points of failure if you might resume work on a project after a medium/long amount of time.
