see https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/getting-started-with-git/ignoring-files#configuring-ignored-files-for-all-repositories-on-your-computer
for various strategies

Anyway if those are not files specific to your setup (like editor
ones), but files which every PG hacker on Windows will generate as
well (which is this case IMHO), it will make sense to add it into
project's gitignore.
 
.vs directory and temp files within it are created once you open any of the .sln, .vcproj or .vcxproj files (created with build command when PWD is postgres/src/tools/msvc) in visual studio. It's a common practice that developers use visual studio on codebase as it's mostly the default c/c++ files/projects editor. 
So, it would be a common case for most of the developers with Windows platform to add it in project's .gitignore.
