Remove and ignore temporary files

[petebachant]

All the files ending in ~ don't need to be part of the repository. You should delete these, then check

git status

to make sure the correct files are being deleted.

Then create a .gitignore file in the project root directory with

touch .gitignore

and add this line to the file:

*~

Then commit all the changes you just made

git add .gitignore
git commit -am "Remove temporary files"

Then push to GitHub

git push

Note that you can close this issue via commit message, if when you commit you write something like

git commit -am "Remove temporary files; resolves #1"

After you push, the issue will automatically be closed.

Looks like this is done. Closing.
