Add simple .gitignore #114

Closed ddevault closed 8 years ago

ddevault commented 8 years ago

When building according to the readme, build artifacts are all under target/. This change omits that directory from version control.

Cloudef commented 8 years ago

This is better locally as I personally have way more targets than one target/. I would expect every people have slightly different looking local copy of the repository. If they are serious about contributing it doesn't take long to echo target/ > .gitignore

If they do that, they'll check their .gitignore in, too. This is a simple change, hurts no one, and helps contributors.

Remember as well that not all contributors are long term ones. They may just clone the repo, build it according to the readme, make a small fix, and send a PR.
