Default ignore list

[scotthmurray]

This is such a great tool. Is there an easy way to tell gistup to always ignore certain files, e.g. .DS_Store?

Gistup already has a special default exclusion list that includes .DS_Store, assuming you’re using version 0.0.13 or later.

If you want to exclude additional files, try one of these three methods:

• Use the --exclude (-x) option when running gistup.
• Create a .gitignore file in the current directory.
• Create a global .gitignore file.

I highly, highly recommend the last approach if you are on a Mac. I do this:

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

And then edit ~/.gitignore to add .DS_Store.

Thanks! I had been using 0.0.10.
