Gitignore in-source CMake/Conan/Qt build artifacts#2
Merged
Conversation
This repo is built in-place at the repo root rather than in an out-of-source build/ dir, so CMake, Conan, MSBuild, and Qt's moc/rcc all drop generated files directly alongside tracked source. None of that was covered by the existing (out-of-source-build-oriented) ignore rules, so every local build left ~150+ untracked files/dirs in git status. Also ignores the handful of configure_file()-generated files produced from tracked .in templates -- notably AnalyticsHelperSecrets.hxx, which is populated with real secret values at configure time and should never be committed.
