I’m having issues with the .local/db/references.db file in Git. After resolving an error and trying to push it, I’m now unable to resolve conflicts related to this file.
My question is: what is the purpose of this file, and is it safe to add it to .gitignore without causing problems for other developers?
I’m not sure about the purpose but it’s safe to ignore as per this thread.
Hey @simon.l
That file likely stores local database references, possibly for an IDE or framework. It’s usually safe to add it to .gitignore as it’s typically user-specific and not crucial for other developers’ code to function. They’ll generate their own.
Hi @simon.l
I think references.db is a local file used for caching by your development tool. you should add it to .gitignore because it doesn’t need to be shared and can cause conflicts if tracked in git.

Any of the .local files can be ignored those contain the development time details etc
cheers
