git will take 3 files into consideration for "ignoring" files:
> $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore, $GIT_DIR/info/exclude, .gitignore
How I use them:
* ~/.gitignore: stuff I want to ignore everywhere (`/myNotes`, `.DS_STORE`, ...)
* <project>/.gitignore: stuff that should be ignore for this projects and shared with others
* <project>/.git/info/exclude; stuff for this project that only I want to ignore
** this is also super useful in combination with `git-bisect`
