Hey guys,
Do you have a recommended .gitignore for development?
I don’t want missing something clonning the repo in another device
Thanks
Any update on this post?
I’m also looking forward to save my
.config/rhasspy/profiles/en folder in a git repo. Will this be a problem?

This actually depends on the project you’re developing. For example, if your build script is creating files in a directory build or downloads files in download, these directories should go into your .gitignore. Temporary files, virtual environments you create (.venv) and cache files (such as __pycache__) too.
@Mondmonarch are you saying that you want to put your Rhasspy profiles directory in the directory you downloaded from Rhasspy’s Git repository? As long as the repository doesn’t have a directory with the same name and you don’t accidentally add the directory to a commit for a pull request to the project, I don’t see any problem. But I don’t see much use for it either. It’s cleaner to keep your configuration/data separate from the project itself.
Thanks @koan, would you explain more about keep separate configuration/data with some project developed with Rhasspy? and what would be a good way to recreate/replicate a project with Rhasspy using a github repo?
In my case, I already did what @Mondmonarch say here:
But I also don’t see much use to keep all the files in profiles, that was the cause of my question.
This repo is only a integration with home assistant that (for now) only reply to voices commands
I would really leave your profile directory in your home directory, ~/.config/rhasspy/profiles/es instead of putting it in your Git repository. Except of course if you want every user of your project to use the same profile as you.
@koan At the moment I just need a way to save my configuration files like sentences.ini etc. in case my sd card will break (that’s why I thought about backing that up in a git repo).
Maybe you have some further advice on how to save Rhasspy’s current setup or rather configuration, beside a whole sd card image/backup.
I’m just wondering if there is a better way to install Rhasspy on new sd card and speed up the installation process
Oh right, when it’s for a backup, you can definitely save the profile directory in a Git repository (possibly a private one). Or you can just copy it to another computer or a NAS.
I personally backup all my configs (not just for rhasspy) on git aswell, since I want to see what I change over time aswell. For deployment I usually use ansible, even though I am the first to admit, that I often spend more time writing these automations, than I save by using them

I’m trying to generate the Rhasspy container copying only sentences.ini, profile.json, language_model.txt, dictionary.txt, and unkwown_words.txt in the rhasspy/profiles/es folder, and it looks to work, in the initial window where Rhasspy downloads the models also downloads the preferred wake word i’m using.
Do you think am I forgetting other important file? That would mean that every other file and folder in the rhasspy/profiles/es can be added into the .gitignore.
At first sight I don’t see anything that you’re forgetting, but the best way to know is just trying it 
In order to push the code to git I had to change the owner and group of the home/pi/.config/rhasspy/profiles/en from root to pi. Do you think this will cause any issues due to permissions?
Otherwise the upload worked fine
