pac package init does not generate .gitignore

[filcole]

I just created a new package deployer project using pac package init and realised that a .gitignore file was not created. pac plugin init and pac pcf init both create .gitignore. It would be good if a .gitignore was also created for packages.

Here's the .gitignore created for plugins

# See https://help.github.com/articles/ignoring-files/ for more about ignoring files.

# msbuild output directories
/bin
/obj

# vs intermediate directory
/.vs

Occurs in pac 1.17.5

This project uses standard dotnet output folders. Simply make a call to dotnet new gitignore.

Thanks for the info. I will use that, but I do think that .gitignore should be created as part of pac package init
