General Question

Hello,

I have one question regarding .abi and .bin file.
When I saw git repo of this course, I could not see .abi and .bin file any where.
We should upload it on git repo or not ?
If no How can we prevent it, I mean can we do it using gitignore file ?

@DhruvalBhuva Yes, you can upload it because these are public anyways when pushing for contract verification on Etherscan.

Also, you can add any file to .gitignore file, just add either the whole name of file or just extension. In your case like .bin or .abi

Okay 👍
Got it.
Thank you :)

Any files you intend on keeping private, like .env files or similar files -- you ALWAYS make a .gitignore file and include such files in it. That way, it will not be pushed to the remote repo and hence, kept private. Hope this helps.
