.vs showing as untracked file in git bash - what do i do?

Question

I have recently cloned a repo from git and havn't yet made any changes, all I have done is open the code up in VS19. In git bash i typed 'git status' and there is an untracked file im not sure what to do with. Can anyone suggest please?

$ git status On branch master Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.

Untracked files: (use "git add ..." to include in what will be committed)

    .vs/

Sound like (visual studio?) just creates that folder automatically to store config information. I think you can safely ignore it. Maybe add it to `.gitignore` — symlink, Mar 31 '20 at 15:08

This directory is created by Visual Studio. Add it to your .gitignore file.
