What are the files and folders in storage/statamic/ used for?

Hi!

I've recently come across quite a few files in the storage/statamic/ directory. I'm not quite sure what to make of these. Should they be checked into the git repo? Can I delete them? Should I add them to the gitignore?

I figured storage/statamic/glide contains only cached images but what about the rest?

My main problem with these is they seem to prevent pulling new changes on production:

$ git pull

Please move or remove them before you merge.

They are temp files that should not be in version control.

If you see the statamic/statamic repo, this whole folder can safely be ignored: https://github.com/statamic/statamic/tree/master/storage/statamic

You probably deleted or misplaced the .gitignore file (or used another install method).

Awesome, thanks for the clarification!
