.gitignore file

没有答案真的提供了。gitignore，所以这里有两种口味。

在Pods目录中检查(好处)

Xcode/iOS友好的git忽略，跳过Mac OS系统文件，Xcode，构建，其他存储库和备份。

. gitignore:

# Mac OS X Finder
.DS_Store

# Private Keys
*.pem

# Xcode legacy
*.mode1
*.mode1v3
*.mode2v3
*.perspective
*.perspectivev3
*.pbxuser

# Xcode
xcuserdata/
project.xcworkspace/
DerivedData/

# build products
build/
*.[oa]

# repositories
.hg
.svn
CVS

# automatic backup files
*~.nib
*.swp
*~
*(Autosaved).rtfd/
Backup[ ]of[ ]*.pages/
Backup[ ]of[ ]*.key/
Backup[ ]of[ ]*.numbers/

忽略Pods目录(好处)

.gitignore:(附加到前面的列表)

# Cocoapods
Pods/

不管你是否检查Pods目录，Podfile和Podfile。Lock应该始终保持在版本控制之下。

如果pod没有签入，您的Podfile可能需要为每个Cocoapod请求明确的版本号。Cocoapods.org的讨论。

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.

我提交我的Pods目录。我不同意Pods目录是一个构建产物。事实上，我想说它绝对不是。它是应用程序源代码的一部分:没有它就无法构建!

我们更容易将CocoaPods视为开发工具，而不是构建工具。它不构建你的项目，它只是为你克隆和安装你的依赖项。为了能够简单地构建项目，不应该必须安装CocoaPods。

通过使CocoaPods成为构建的依赖项，您现在需要确保它在构建项目所需的任何地方都可用……团队管理员需要它，您的CI服务器需要它。通常，您应该始终能够克隆源存储库并进行构建，而不需要做任何进一步的工作。

如果你频繁切换分支，不提交pod目录也会造成巨大的麻烦。现在，每次切换分支时都需要运行pod install，以确保依赖项是正确的。当你的依赖关系稳定时，这可能不那么麻烦，但在项目早期，这是一个巨大的时间消耗。

我忽略了什么?什么都没有。Podfile，锁文件和Pods目录都被提交。相信我，这会帮你省去很多麻烦。缺点是什么?更大一点的回购?又不是世界末日。

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。

忽略Pods目录的好处

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.

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/

不签入pod /版本控制的优点(按重要性的主观顺序):

Much easier to merge commits, and review code diffs. Merging is a common source of issues in a code base, and this allows you to focus only on things that are pertinent. It's impossible for some random contributor to edit the dependencies themselves and check the changes in, which they should never do (and again would be hard to identify if the diff is massive). Editing dependencies is very bad practice because a future pod install could occlude the changes. Discrepancies between the Podfile and the Pods/ directory are found quicker among teammates. If you check in Pods/ and, for example, update a version in the Podfile, but forget to run pod install or check in the changes to Pods/, you will have a much harder time noticing the source of the discrepancy. If Pods/ isn't checked in, you always need to run pod install anyway. Smaller repo size. Having a smaller byte-footprint is nice, but that doesn't matter much in the grand scheme. More importantly: having more things in the repo also increases your cognitive load. There is no reason to have things in the repo that you shouldn't be looking at. Refer to documentation (the abstraction) to know how something works, not at code (the implementation). Easier to discern how much someone contributes (since their lines of code contributed won't include dependencies they didn't write) JAR files, .venv/ (virtual environments), and node_modules/ are never included in version control. If we were completely agnostic about the question, not checking in Pods would be the default based on precedent.

不检查pod的缺点/

切换分支或还原提交时必须运行pod install。 您不能仅仅通过克隆存储库来运行项目。您必须安装pod工具，然后运行pod install。 你必须有互联网连接才能运行pod install，而且pod的源代码必须可用。 如果依赖的所有者删除了他们的包，你就不能使用它(尽管你一开始就不应该使用已弃用的依赖——这只会迫使你更早地进行依赖卫生)。

总之，不包含Pods目录是防止更多不良做法的屏障。包含Pods目录可以使项目更容易运行。比起后者，我更喜欢前者。如果一开始就不存在犯某些错误的可能性，那么你就不需要向项目中的每个新人汇报“什么不能做”。我也喜欢有一个单独的版本控制Pods的想法，这减轻了缺点。
