Explain what should be gitignored during setup #1140

Closed equivalentideas closed 5 years ago

equivalentideas commented 5 years ago

After getting set up with Thinking Sphinx, as I was about to commit my changes, I noticed the db/sphinx directory and files.

I had not come across an explanation of these files in the setup process, but they looked to me like data files in use by Sphinx.

I contacted @pat to ask if they should be gitignored and he recommended that they should be, along with the config/ENV.sphinx.conf files.

I've added some instructions to the Installing Thinking Sphinx step for the latest Rails version. This seemed intuitive to my use case, but if this is relevant to other platforms, maybe it should be in a more generic/visible place.

Thanks @pat
