# # Here are some examples of what you might want to ignore # in your git-home-history. Feel free to modify. # # Example rules start with '##'. # You can remove the '##' to set the rule. # # The rules are read from top to bottom, so a rule can # "cancel" out a previous one. Be careful. # # For more information on the syntax used in this file, # see "man gitignore" in a terminal or visit # http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitignore.html ##/Download ##/Videos ##/Music # Notice the '!' below. This tells git to _not_ ignore a file or # directory, in this case, we do not want to ignore a particular # directory under Music/, which is ignored according to the rule # above. ##!/Music/Our_Daughter--Flute # You probably want to ignore all the "dot" files in your home # directory, since they mostly contain local application state data. ##/.* # but... some dot files you probably do *not* want ignored are # listed here: ##!/.bash* ##!/.tcsh* ##!/.zsh* ##!/.emacs ##!/.gnupg ##!/.mail ##!/.maildir ##!/.Maildir ##!/.mail-aliases ##!/.muttrc ##!/.ssh ##!/.vimrc # We do not want to track the tracking of other files: #.svn #CVS # Please note that all files in a Git project are ignored # e.g. linux-2.6/ will be entirely ignored if linux-2.6/.git exists. # Thus it is not necessary to add ".git" here. # Some editors use some special backup file formats.
