Do I want to include the Azure csx folder in configuration control?

Question

My MVC 4 app is deployed to Azure. The Azure project includes a csx folder. Is there anything in that folder that doesn't get automatically recreated when I publish to Azure? In other words, is there anything in that folder that qualifies as "source code" that I should add to my version control system?

The csx folder can be excluded from source control. Note that if you pull a .gitingore file from gitignore.io it will exclude this automatically.

You can exclude the Azure Build Output csx folder by using the below .tfignore in your Azure project or solution if you are using TFS 2012+.

You can also generate a.tfignore file from Visual Studio using Team Explorer Pending Changes view Excluded Changes->Detected->Right-Click File->Ignore Options. Then you can manually edit it as needed.

enter image description here

.tfignore (File Contents - save using Notepad to your solution/project directory)

################################################################################

# Windows Azure Build Output
csx
*.build.csdef
