Hi, hopefully this goes here. I have my project hosted on bitbucket using Git and Source Tree UI, I am very new to source control but I wanted to learn it and after 2 days and five repositories later, I believe I got the hang of it, but I am wondering which files and folders I should exclude from sending to the remote repository. I excluded Saved and Intermediate directories entirely and also excluded .log and .bin files, anything else i should exclude? Did i exclude anything in those folders that i might need?

There’s an example gitignore file here: https://github.com/github/gitignore/…gine.gitignore
You’ll also want to set up LFS for all binary file types (mostly .uasset / .umap, and any other binary files your project has like .blend, .fbx, .png, …)

LFS mystery abbreviation?
We add the collections and developers folders to ignore list as well:
Debug
Intermediate
Saved
Collections
Developers

For anybody else looking for this, I found this template helpful: GitHub - MOZGIII/ue5-gitignore: A git setup example with git-lfs for Unreal Engine 5 (and 4) projects.
It shows both .gitignore and .gitattributes configuration for git-lfs
