Provide a suggested gitignore #71

Open fiapps opened 8 years ago

fiapps commented 8 years ago

The setup instructions in the Help Document don't say anything about a .gitignore for the repo. When I look at what is being saved in the repo, I see 8 files besides the markdown file I created, plus the contents of a tmp directory. I suspect that most or all of these other files are automatically generated when I sync a note to Evernote, and so don't need to be saved in a repo. However, some of it may represent important state for the client, like when the note was last synced.

Therefore, instead of making up a gitignore on my own, I would like the developer to provide one, since he knows which files contain real information, and why are merely byproducts of the sync process.

I suggest this gitignore be referenced in the help document, and maintained either as part of the code of the Atom package or as a gist.

This is a very good idea. Thanks @fiapps. I'll get on it soon (hopefully!).
