One of the first thing you have to do when you are creating a git repository is to create a .gitignore file that tells git to ignore the files specified in the .gitignore file. Since Visual Studio produces all kinds of files it could take a while if you tried to create a .gitignore file from scratch. Well there's a website that will generate a .gitignore file for you. It's called gitignore.io all you have to do is type in the IDE in this case it's VisualStudio without any spaces and the website will generate a .gitignore file for you automatically.

End-to-End ASP.NET MVC 5 : Using Conditional Comments to Support Older Versions Of IE
Older versions of IE have problems supporting the newer JavaScript libraries and HTML5 tags. In the previous blog we've created responsive layout in ASP.NET MVC. In this blog we are going to use conditional comments to support older versions of Internet Explorer (IE). Since IE 9 seems to be the cutoff point we will use it in our conditional comment base condition to decide whether we want to do something different to support IE. We will be working with the MvcApp project.
