Our .gitignore has grown pretty large. In particular, it has lots of lines in there specific to environments and editors.

We should clean it up a bit, with a comment advising contributors on how to modify their global gitignore so as to discourage them from growing this file unnecessarily.

The remaining lines should also be more specific. For instance, if a folder is being excluded, it should end with a slash.

The GitHub Python .gitignore template is a good inspiration in terms of documentation quality, though we shouldn't include any of the lines relating to things we don't use in jrnl specifically.
