amplify auto-ignores aws-exports.js in .gitignore possibly simply because it may change frequently and is fully generated - however maybe there are also security concerns?
For this project my github project is private so that is not a concern, but I am wondering for future projects that could be public.
The reason I ask is because if I want to run my app setup/build/test through github workflows then I need this file for the build to complete properly on github machines?
Also I appear to need it for my amplify CI hosting to work on amplify console (I have connected my amplify console build->deploy to my github master branch and it all works perfectly but only when aws-exports.js is in source control).
Here is my amplify.yml, I am using reason-react with nextjs, and my amplify console is telling me I have connected to the correct backend:
version: 1
frontend:
phases:
preBuild:
commands:
- yarn install
build:
commands:
- yarn run build

baseDirectory: out
