src/generated folder and git

[Busti]

Does the src/generated folder need to be included in a git repo?
I am asking specifically about the src/generated/resources/.cache folder, it is not in the mdk and was generated upon first launching the client of an empty environment.

src/generated/resources and any generated models, loot tables, recipes, etc. (see GatherDataEvent, DataGenerator and the implementations of IDataProvider) inside of that directory should be included in your repository, but the .cache directory should be ignored.

 

If you look at Forge's repository, you'll see that it ignores the .cache directory while including everything else in src/generated/resources.

Thank you, @Choonster
I was wondering, because the file was not in the .gitignore file that was included in the mdk zip since files like that sometimes do belong in git, i.e. package-lock.json  in node-js and so on.
Maybe it should be excluded by default, but I do not know where the mdk files are built, otherwise I would submit a PR.
