Many programs do something similar, for example vim creates file~ as backups. Using a graphical file manager, these used to annoy me. After switching to a terminal for file management, I can easily ignore them as if they weren't there.
- wollw 15y agoWhat I ended up doing was having vim save backups and temp files to ~/.vim/backup and ~/.vim/tmp by adding this to my .vimrc: set backupdir=~/.vim/backup set directory=~/.vim/tmp Of course these can also be relative paths so you can have a project save these to a local .backup directory too if you want to keep them near the files they relate to.
