Do not auto-ignore local.settings.json from Git.

I feel local.settings.json should remain for local non-Azure settings only, as there is big difference between running locally in an emulator and running in an actual Azure environment.

I think, however, local.settings.json should not be auto-ignored form Git.

When a new developer comes on-board and pulls a function app project, they cannot run it locally as the local.settings.json is missing.

Thank you

local.settings.json is a wrong place to store secrets, that is what secrets.json is for (right click application, Manage User Secrets).

Here is a typical local.settings.json; no secrets there:

{
  "IsEncrypted": false,
  "Values": {
    "AzureWebJobsStorage": "UseDevelopmentStorage=true",
    "FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME": "dotnet"
  },
  "Host": {
    "CORS": "*"
  }
}
