Ent: Should I exclude the files generated by entc from vcs?
After execute go generate ./ent, there are lots of files generated.
Should I exclude these files from vcs? Such as put the content below to ./ent/.gitignore
*
!generate.go
!schema/
Or keep them in vcs？
Which is best practice?

Hey @YianAndCode,
I'm not aware on any best practice, but from my experience, it's pretty common (in Go) to keep the generated assets in VCS. Not only for ent, but for other projects as well (e.g. gqlgen, protobuf, go-swagger, etc).
GitHub PR diff works with it really well BTW.
