Is .g8 directory necessary?


I've initialized a project with my build tool as follows

sbt new playframework/play-scala-seed.g8

Which correctly generated the project from the template I wanted. My only problem is that there's now a .g8 directory under my project

By peeking inside, it looks like it only has whatever is needed to genere the code from a template

Is it ok to delete? Should I commit it to my git repository? Thanks!


Solution


The project supports using giter8 to create scaffolds

So technically it is safe to delete, but you will lose the g8Scaffold form feature.
