Overview
GitHub's collection of .gitignore templates. The list fills the template choosers on GitHub.com when you create a new repository or file. Templates in the root folder cover common languages and technologies, and the Global folder covers editors, tools and operating systems. A .gitignore keeps build output and other unimportant files out of version control.
Key features
- Templates for popular programming languages and technologies
- Global folder for editors, tools and operating systems
- Same list that feeds GitHub's template choosers
Best for
Anyone starting a repository who wants sensible ignore rules for their language or tools instead of writing them from scratch.
