I think it's best if people put their editor's temporary/backup |
| 14 |
files in their local gitignore, instead of trying to maintain a |
| 15 |
giant per-repository ignore file that needs amending for every |
| 16 |
user's favourite editor. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
For example, in ~/.gitconfig: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
[core] |
| 21 |
excludesFile = ~/.gitignore |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Then ~/.gitignore can contain: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
*.swp |
| 26 |
*.bak |
| 27 |
*.orig |
| 28 |

Thanks, |
