Add local configuration files to Vim.gitignore

[Farzat07]

When using coc.nvim (https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim), sometimes a
local configuration file is created at .vim/coc-settings.json, so it was
ignored.

I am not sure whether this directory is used by coc only or other
packages as well, so for now I think it is better to just ignore the
whole .vim/ directory.

A link to the documentation of coc's local configuration file:

Are .vim folders commonly created inside directories too? I could only find reference to them being used in your profile directory.

[Farzat07]

I don't really get your question.

Trying to figure out why the entire .vim folder is being excluded. Does this file exist outside of the root of a users profile folder or is it sometime stored in source folders?

[Farzat07]

Actually thinking about it, ignoring the .vim/ directory can be very damaging for someone who uses git to keep track of his home directory.

The .vim/coc-settings.json is a specific case which does not necessarily apply to the normal user.

I'm thinking of closing the pull request, is it ok?

is it ok?

Yes, it's perfectly fine! It's your pull request and you can do what you want with it ;)
