Description

I recently cloned a project from github, and found out that my Launch configuration changes are left behind in the
original location of the project and the original Workspace but not as part of the project that I pushed to github
This is probably an architectural decision, which in my opinion is wrong because Launch Configuration has nothing to do with the workspace and everything to do with a project.
The exact location is a file named: project_name.launch located in :
\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.debug.core\.launches
I hope there is a way to change it.
STM32CubeIDE is also an eclipse based IDE, where the launch configuration is saved as a file in the project root, makes it easier to keep the project self contained without bloating it with workspace .metadata which can be common for different unrelated projects
