# By default all files are ignored in the root directory.  You'll need to whitelist
# any files you want to include in the repo.
#
# To ignore uncommitted changes in a file that is already tracked, use 
# git update-index --assume-unchanged
#
# To stop tracking a file that is currently tracked, use 
# git rm --cached
#
