Using Git for an OSX application

Question

I'm working on an OSX application (using xcode) and all the versionning stuff is managed with git. I'm asking because I'm a bit new at this (not git, but osx applications) : which files should be commited and which shouldn't?

I'm not sure what to do with the .xcodeproj and all theses folders...

Thanks!

WHat version of Xcode ? 3.x or 4.x ?

Within the .xcodeproj directory you just want to keep project.pbxproj under version control. The other files in that directory are all user-specific - project.pbxproj contains all the important stuff.

Also you probably don't want the build directory under version control.

In short, anything you feel you should be under source control. Generally speaking, any files which relate to you only and no-one else should be excluded, as well as any files that can be generated/built from the files which are in source control.
