Is .g8 directory necessary?

Question

I've initialized a project with my build tool as follows

sbt new playframework/play-scala-seed.g8

Which correctly generated the project from the template I wanted. My only problem is that there's now a .g8 directory under my project

By peeking inside, it looks like it only has whatever is needed to genere the code from a template

Is it ok to delete? Should I commit it to my git repository? Thanks!

Answer 1

The project supports using giter8 to create scaffolds

So technically it is safe to delete, but you will lose the g8Scaffold form feature.
