Show me your .gitignore

The .gitignore file exists in almost every of our projects, but even across similar projects the .gitignore always looks different.

Cheers

I'm using gitignore.io, like below (when I write Go):

$ gi macos,emacs,go

gi is wrapper function, written in gitignore.io 's document.

Check out this tool: gitignore.io/ 🦄

I mostly generate mine with joe, I highly recommend it. joe is a cli tool which generates .gitignore files given a list of tools/languages you plan to use.

So for my current project I did joe g java jetbrains vim gradle > .gitignore and I was all set!

gitignore.io just type the kind of project/tool and it generate the "perfect" gitignore for you

I like to have two .gitignore, one for me (a global one), and one for the project that I'm working on.

In my global gitignore, named .gitexcludes(github.com/diegoholiveira/dotfiles...), I ignore files that are generated by my own environment, like IDEs files, vagrant files and others.

In my projects, my .gitignore only have entries that are directly about the project: like build files, pyc files and vendor folder, generated files and other.

This helps me to keep things very organized.

A really great approach! You must be a good project collaboration mate.
Cheers!

Can I do a promote a tool here for those who like building random projects?

npmjs.com/package/gitignorer

It is a tool that allow you to init gitignore file easily given a default profile.

When I start a project, I go to this site to create .gitignore.
