It would be very inconvenient to try to synchronize global gitignore settings to all my computers and development environments. When .gitignore files are part of the project, they are automatically distributed everywhere where they are needed.
- eddiejaoude 2y ago> they are automatically distributed everywhere where they are needed for you and your tools, but what about everyone else? Look at using dotfiles to sync your computer's config to multiple computers, it is a great tool
- kennu 2y agoOther people working on the project add their ignored files to the same .gitignore. No problem.
- thiht 2y agoI don't understand why people make an issue of that. Just add everything that needs to be ignored to the .gitignore, as long as it makes sense to someone. If I use XYZ-Obscure-Unknown-Editor, just let me add `.xyz-obscure-unknown-editor/` to the .gitignore. It literally has no negative impact on anyone. There's no reason to gatekeep what goes to the .gitignore
