Alire puts "/obj/", "/bin/", "/alire/", and "/config/" into its .gitignore when creating a new project so the platform-specific stuff shouldn't end up on other developer's machines. After your initial "alr init --bin myproj" you can dive into your "myproj.gpr" and do more than what alire supports in its toml file.

which is fine if you're using git. Just like asking me for my github login would be fine, if I used github and expected to ever distribute sdl_helloworld.

Turns out putting "config" in .gitignore isn't a very good idea. Or, at least, there's a problem with what setting go into "config". In particular, compiler options, end up ignored... I had to undo it in the project I'm working on because I got tired of having to restore these options every time I change something else in dependencies / other project configuration.

We use SVN in our university lab, so no, that didn't work when I tried it initially. obj and bin was obvious to ignore, but I wasn't so sure about config and alire, might be helpful though
