Should I exclude .slconfig from source control?

Question

I am using SonarLint in my .NET core project. When integrating projects with SonarLint, the following files are generated inside a .sonarlint folder:

• <SonarQubeProject>CSharp.ruleset
• <Solution>.slconfig

The .ruleset file contains the rules for sonarlint and sonarqube, so I'm already keeping this file in source control.

But what about the .slconfig? Should I keep this file in source control or should I exclude it? (add it to .gitignore in my case)

Answer 1

This file should be included in source control.

This file controls synchronization between source code and SQ. It includes among others:

• ServerUri pointing to the SonarQube server to which this project is bound to.
• ProjectKey with the key of the project in the SQ server
• Profiles which includes a ProfileKey that is an identifier for the Quality profile selected in the server.
