I'm using visual studio 2013 and the python tools for visual studio.
While setting up the project i've begun adding to the standard VS .gitignore as it doesn't cover the tools. I have a subdirectory labeled .ptvs in my environments folder. Currently it only seems to have logs in it.
Is there any risk that something important ever ends up there? Documentation is lacking in this area.
Thanks in advance.
The Python Tools Visual Studio seems to cache or generate files, logs and DB in the hidden folder
.ptvs
.Since those data are generated, you should safely ignore that file and never version its content.
See for instance this discussion around the issue "Visual Studio 2010 freezes with PTVS 2.0RC":
