Add a minimal .gitignore file #16

Closed rbost closed 5 years ago

rbost commented 5 years ago

In git, ignore all build* directories by default. This is particularly handy if we want to use the standard mkdir build & cd build & cmake .. commands. Also, some IDEs (e.g. VSCode) do similar things.

Every developer uses different names for his build directories, so this patch won't match everybody and the .gitignore file needs to be updated for new developers. Therefore I'll reject this PR.

I suggest adding a global .gitignore file covering the needs for your build infrastructure, that will be used for all of your git projects automatically.
