QtCreator above 4.8 version is utilizing a so called "compilation database" which placed in the compile_commands.json and contains generated information.
For template rules (modern style) in Qt project file,
this file is autogenerated by qmake.
Example old style (pro file):
SOURCES += src/1.cpp \
src/2.cpp
Example new style, uses template rules (pro file):
SOURCES += src/*.cpp
qmake auto generate files with list of objects
object_script.*.Debug
object_script.*.Release
This file is autogenerated by qmake. It imports static plugin classes for
static plugins specified using QTPLUGIN and QT_PLUGIN_CLASS.<plugin> variables.
This file is autogenerated for static build
In some cases Qt Creator will create a CMakeLists.txt.user file with a short hash which should also be ignored. For example:
CMakeLists.txt.user.1fa15d5
- Ignore '*.moc' files (foo.moc created when foo.cpp contains a Q_OBJECT.)
- Ignore '/.qmake.cache' and '/.qmake.stash' as does the official Qt Creator project.
moc automatically generates "ui_*.h" files for each *.ui file.
Since they are auto-generated I assume they should be ignored.

With "CONFIG=debug_and_release" qmake generates both Makefile.Debug and
Makefile.Release. And I assume it is useful to have all types Makefiles
ignored.
