Should the autogenerated /install folder in a catkin workspace be committed to VCS? [closed]

Hello,

I have recently created a catkin workspace and added a catkin package to it. When I installed the package using catkin_make install, an /install folder was automatically generated.

Should I add this folder to my version control?

Thanks, Erinc

It seems @Procópio has already posted an answer, but your question is really a duplicate of #q264600 and some others linked from that Q&A.

Could you please try and search for older Q&As -- or if you have: please mention the search/keywords you've used in your searches.

If @Procópio agrees, I would suggest to close this as a duplicate.

Hi @gvdhoorn, in my search text, I have included words like git, vcs, and install. I did not come up with a prior answer, thanks for recognizing the duplicate.

Usually you only want your source code to be under version control. So not even your catkin workspace, nor the build, devel or logs that are generated after a compilation.

In your version control you want the minimal stuff needed to compile a code.
