Reduce churn from auto-generated src/*.egg-info changes (ex: PKG-INFO, requires.txt).
When To Use
git status/ diff shows onlysrc/*.egg-info/**modifications.- The churn appears after
uv sync,uv pip install -e ., or packaging metadata updates.

pyproject.toml) was actually updated. - Prefer committing the source-of-truth change over committing generated metadata.
- Verify the repo convention (historical commits include
- If the user wants to clean the workspace (local-only):
- Recommend removing
src/*.egg-infoand re-runninguv pip install -e .to regenerate.
- Recommend removing
