Seems like you did an in-source build. CMake suggests to use out-of-source
builds at all times so your source directory stays clean.

Yes, the ones you mentioned are files generated by cmake when you run
cmake.

Don't add the files at all.

The ones you've written yourself :) In general cmake only needs the
CMakeLists.txt files and any other files you've written specifically for
building the project (like .cmake find-modules or .cmake template files
used with configure_file). Anything else is generated by cmake when you ran
it in the source tree.
