If you use cdk init app, you see that cdk.out folder is in .gitignore.

*.js
!jest.config.js
*.d.ts
node_modules

# CDK asset staging directory
.cdk.staging
cdk.out

There is no need to add cdk.out to git. It just holds artifacts like synthesized cloudformation templates which do not need to be in version control.

But doesn't it also hold state? – The Onin Jun 12 '22 at 23:11

@TheOnin you can safely delete the cdk.out content: https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/issues/2869#issuecomment-607971957 – Cesar Flores May 30 '23 at 17:41
