Rejected in #3239.

Please reconsider. Laravel should take care (as in gitignoring them) of files that it generates.

It's not up to me to reconsider. Taylor has closed at least one of these before, however, I can leave this open for him again if you want. :)

👍

sorry about that. i should have looked to see if this was already an open issue.

i'm curious, what is the thought behind NOT wanting to add it to .gitignore? while it is obviously a very obscure issue, it did happen to me once when i was testing my down template. as such I added it to my personal .gitignore file, because i wouldn't want pushing that file to version control to affect my production environment.

Things like maintenance mode shouldn't be dictated by the framework. It's a user choice. The way some people deploy is automated and they wouldn't necessarily login to a server and to a site down command.

This shouldn't be part of the gitignore on a project level, it's a per user choice.

It still is the user's choice. This pull request is asking us to change the default for a new laravel project, that's all.

I'll just merge for the sake of not bikeshedding forever.
