As described at [New Release] Katalon Studio 8.5.0 - September 21, 2022,
[Git integration]:
- In Katalon Studio - Platform Edition, Git integration is always enabled by default. You cannot disable Git integration in Katalon Studio - Platform Edition. See Git integration in Katalon Studio - Platform Edition.
Therefore I think Katalon team is supposed to be more careful about the .gitignore. Otherwise problems around Git may arise, as many of Katalon users are not experienced enough about Git.
