.bitmap

.bitmap is a file auto-generated and managed by Bit in the Workspace for mapping each component to its corresponding directory in the project's file system. The .bitmap file is meant to be tracked and committed to the VCS repository (Git/Mercurial).

An example .bitmap file can be found in this example project.

note

Please note, the .bitmap file should not be manually changed by developers. Bit commands related to controlling the Workspace - such as bit add, bit remove, bit create, among others - take care of managing and updating .bitmap.
