If you have the [Ionide](http://ionide.io/) tools installed you will get an `.ionide` directory created in each directory that you open with VS Code, regardless of whether or not you are using F#.
ASP.NET Core projects no longer use Bower by default (since Bower is now deprecated), and instead create static files in the wwwroot/lib path. This path is can also be used by convention for ASP.NET Core developers, and since it's no longer populated by Bower, it is unituitive to be excluded by default.
This change removes the lines added by #2307.
**Reasons for making this change:**
VS default flow is now broken by excluding files required to run an ASP.NET Core project.
**Links to documentation supporting these rule changes:**
The changes to the ASP.NET Core templates was tracked by https://github.com/aspnet/templating/issues/48.
Rider has its own ignore file, so does Visual Studio. The ignore statements for Rider (idea) IDE should be removed from Visual Studio .gitignore file template.
Currently, CodeRush provides the capability to store team settings and images used in Rich Comments and they should be shared among all team members. I have corrected the gitignore file to exclude only personal settings.
Ignoring `launchSettings.json` does not make much sense. Now .NET CLI even considers this file when running with `dotnet run`, as you can read [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet-run?tabs=netcore2x).
This settings will be useful if shared among project members, so it should be commited to the repo.
Also, on the default `.gitignore` file generated by Visual Studio it is not ignored, so this causes confusion, as depending on how `.gitignore` was created it could be commited in or not.
MFractor is a Xamarin/Visual Studio Mac productivity tool used by 1000's of Xamarin developers.
The `.mfractor/` folder should not be included in source control (but often is).
Nobody is using v1 of typings anymore on new projects and 'typings' is the recommended name for the folders of your custom types.
On the other hand the official Visual Studio ignore is not ignoring this folder.
The latest update of Visual Studio 17 (15.5.5) introduces a new backup folder called "ServiceFabricBackup" before upgrading service fabric applications.
* Add *.snk strong name key files
Strong name key files shouldn't be included in a repository AFAIK. they are intended to sign build output to verify that it comes from the correct publisher. having an *.snk in a repository would allow anyone to produce build as if they were the original publisher.
I guess some OSS projects might like to have *.snk files in their repos but that would be an exception to the rule.
* Make use of *.snk optional
Add note explaining use.
* Reduce explanation
Just use a link instead
It looks like VS2017 changed it's nuget package directory name to be capitalized.
When using Ubuntu for Windows, directory name casing of NuGet package folder becomes important and detected as a change by git,. This change is to ignore regardless of casing.
