I'm not convinced this shouldn't just be in your local .git/info/exclude
. There are a bunch of IDEs out there and we can't expect to add a set of excludes for all of them to every project.
Wish I had realized this earlier. Probably would have saved me some time & frustration. I guess I am still relatively new to using Git, IDEs, & development in general. Thank you.
Decided to create a .gitignore in my home directory & added the global core.excludesFile
in my ~/.gitconfig so that globally I don't have to worry about ignoring files for individual projects.
$ git config --global --add core.excludesFile "~/gitignore"
$ cat ~/gitconfig
...
[core]
editor = nano
excludesFile = ~/.gitignore
...
Thank you for reminding me to take the time to read manuals & study software settings. :wink:
