This gist will be about git.

gitignore-alternatives.md

Why:

  • .gitignore file only works well with items that are common for all.
  • switching branches might screw things up.

Solutions:

  • .git/info/exclude for per-project
  • ~/.config/git/ignore per-user

Example:

  • git ls-files --others --exclude-from=.git/info/exclude --others Tells the command to show files that are not in the index. --exclude-from Is a filter to not show files from its parameter.
