Purpose

Reduce churn from auto-generated src/*.egg-info changes (ex: PKG-INFO, requires.txt).

When To Use

• git status / diff shows only src/*.egg-info/** modifications.
• The churn appears after uv sync, uv pip install -e ., or packaging metadata updates.

Checklist

• Confirm scope: changes are limited to src/*.egg-info/**.
• Treat as generated by default:
  • Do not commit unless the repo intentionally tracks *.egg-info.
  • Call out that editable installs can rewrite these files.
• If a commit is requested anyway:
  • Verify the repo convention (historical commits include src/*.egg-info/**).
  • Ensure the underlying source of truth (ex: pyproject.toml) was actually updated.
  • Prefer committing the source-of-truth change over committing generated metadata.
• If the user wants to clean the workspace (local-only):
  • Recommend removing src/*.egg-info and re-running uv pip install -e . to regenerate.

Notes

• *.egg-info is typically build/install output; committing it often creates noisy diffs.
