Putting my shell config files into a git repo. Repo is in my home directory. Want to ignore everything but a few files. Files in .ssh/ giving me trouble. Can't seem to figure out how to ignore knows hosts and a few others. Ideas?

.gitignore

# Ignore everything
/*

# But not these files...
!/.*alias
!/.bashrc*
!/.perltidyrc
!/.func
!/.pcmrc

!/.ssh/
# I want to ignore the known hosts files but this does not seem to work
/.ssh/known_hosts
