I have a Git repository, which for my own reasons I want to manage outside of XCode 4. Really what I want is XCode to just leave my repository alone. However, I've noticed that XCode will add new projects to the repository if they're saved inside the repository.
For example, suppose I start out with a plain ol' repo:
mkdir gittest; cd gittest git init; touch a; git add a; git commit
I fire up XCode and create a new project. NOTE: I do not have the "Create local git repository for this project" checkbox checked. For the destination dir, I save it to the directory gittest.
git status reveals:
# On branch master # Changes to be committed: # (use "git reset HEAD ..." to unstage) # # new file: gittest/gittest.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj # new file: gittest/gittest/en.lproj/InfoPlist.strings # new file: gittest/gittest/gittest-Info.plist # new file: gittest/gittest/gittest-Prefix.pch # new file: gittest/gittest/gittestAppDelegate.h # new file: gittest/gittest/gittestAppDelegate.m # new file: gittest/gittest/iPad/en.lproj/MainWindow_iPad.xib # new file: gittest/gittest/iPad/gittestAppDelegate_iPad.h # new file: gittest/gittest/iPad/gittestAppDelegate_iPad.m # new file: gittest/gittest/iPhone/en.lproj/MainWindow_iPhone.xib # new file: gittest/gittest/iPhone/gittestAppDelegate_iPhone.h # new file: gittest/gittest/iPhone/gittestAppDelegate_iPhone.m # new file: gittest/gittest/main.m # # Changed but not updated: # (use "git add ..." to update what will be committed) # (use "git checkout -- ..." to discard changes in working directory) # # modified: gittest/gittest.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj # # Untracked files: # (use "git add ..." to include in what will be committed) # # gittest/gittest.xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace/ # gittest/gittest.xcodeproj/xcuserdata/
It's clear that XCode is modifying a git repository that it has not been told to manage.
Has anyone encountered this before? I'm assuming that this is a feature and that there's some preference to disable it, but for the life of me I can't find it.
