Banish your build paths

Once of the most annoying things about working with version control systems is dealing with the build folder. I always forget to exclude it from the repository and thus end up with a cluttered and messy change as all the build files change. A simple way to clean this up is to specific a different location for all build using the XCode ‘bullding’ pref pane. Simple set “Place Build Products in:” to a “Customized Location” such as /Users/Shared/[yourusername]/Products. From then on any time you build a project a new directory such as ProjectName.build will be created in that folder. All the build will be in there and you can clean out that folder on a regular basis.
