Global gitignore

There are certain files created by particular editors, IDEs, operating systems, etc., that do not belong in a repository. But adding system-specific files to the repo's .gitignore is considered a poor practice. This file should only exclude files and directories that are a part of the package that should not be versioned (such as the node_modules directory) as well as files that are generated (and regenerated) as artifacts of a build process.

All other files should be in your own global gitignore file:

  • Create a file called .gitignore in your home directory and add any filepath patterns you want to ignore.
  • Tell git where your global gitignore file is.

Note: The specific name and path you choose aren't important as long as you configure git to find it, as shown below. You could substitute .config/git/ignore for .gitignore in your home directory, if you prefer.

How to clone a git repo to an existing folder (not empty)
  1. First get to the existing directory
    $ cd my/folder/

  2. Now start a new git repository
    $ git init

  3. Identify if the current elements on the directory are needed or not and add them to the .gitignore file. When ready...
    $ vim .gitignore

  4. When ready create the first commit on the server
