My gitignore File

I need a spot to stick my gitignore file. This is that spot.

There are two kinds of files here: global and project related.

Global

The global gitignore is where I stash items that are useful for every or nearly every project.

This covers my OS and tool preferences.

Global gitignore File Name

.gitignore_global

Adding Global gitignore_global

git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore_global

Obviously, you need to specify the correct path if it isn't ~/.gitignore_global

My OS and Tool Sections

• Vim
• Windows
• Visual Studio
• Eclipse

Project

These are specific to a type of project. For instance, node.js or Android.
