These files are essential to allowing others to contribute to code with setupDecompWorkspace and build. Without these files, people will have to manually install the Gradle wrapper themselves, which is a pain.

Is it even "legal" to add these files? Galacticraft doesn't add these, either

@katzenpapst yes it is. All mod creators use them and must be added to the repo for others to collaborate. Just because GalactiCraft doesn't add them doesn't mean everyone else doesn't add them as well.
EDIT: sorry If I sounded a bit harsh in that.

please add them

Ok fine, I'll add them.

@katzenpapst One more thing, I've noticed that you have local API files in your lib or libs folder if I am correct? Would you mind either giving out the apis that you have used in the project in a README.md or removing /lib and /libs from the .gitignore file (if necessary, of course. If it can build without them then it's fine)? Thanks.

There are just the galacticraft-dev jars. I'm probably doing it wrong, but I'm not sure how to do it the "right" way

@katzenpapst I'll take a look at it then and I'll get back to you.

@katzenpapst You have imported the galacticraft-dev jars alright, but do you mind telling me what version of galacticraft you are using to create your addon, as the .gitignore also ignores the /libs folder which I need to build your addon (because it contains the galacticraft-dev jars as you had stated).

Build 463. Right now I added them into the Java Build Path in Eclipse.

anyway, gradle stuff is in develop now

@katzenpapst awsome. can you also add in the libs folder? that has the dev jars and it's needed to build the thing

I really don't think I should add Galacticraft's Jars to my git repo.

@katzenpapst then make a README.md explaining how to do so manually so that others can contribute. Or don't at this point it's your choice. The gradle stuff was vital but this is optional.
