I've been leaning on an online .gitignore generator [1] as of late. Just punch in whichever combination of OS, Build Tool, and Development Environment you're using, and it provides some reasonable defaults that filter out IDE config files, temporary files, build output, and other undesirable shrapnel. As an added bonus, the site outputs a URL that can be easily fetched with your command line tool of choice and output directly to a .gitignore file.
