It is weird that quite a few developers comes up with advices where they seem to come from a world where they work alone, have not work with enough people, or with enough projects.
In this case, a `.gitignore_global` takes care of the usual suspects that he mentioned `.DS_Store files, IDE config, compressed files, etc.`. Even if something goes wrong, it is usually caught during the initial scaffold before critical files goes in.
If one is working with new, young, rookie developers, give them the typical lesson on the global gitignore, local, config, and to have dotfiles, etc. Give yours for inspiration or something to start with.
Edit: I know that mine is not the best of the dotfiles on the internet but this has helped me switch multiple devices, multiple identities (work, projects, personal, etc) easily. I recently cleaned it up and added automation, test, etc with Claude Code. https://github.com/brajeshwar/dot https://github.com/brajeshwar/dot

- wafflemaker 1mo agoWow, thanks so much for . gitignore_global. Finally can have Emacs files ignored automatically in all projects. <3
- xtajv 1mo agoEmacs can be configured to dump its litter into specific directories instead of in-situ with the files being edited. Please do.

- circularfoyers 1mo agoI wish there was a culture in the team I'm in now to share each others dotfiles (which I feel would lead into sharing so much more including tools, processors, etc), especially since I fall into that group of the new, younger rookie. I appear to work with people who have a lot of experience and knowledge and the atmosphere is seemingly otherwise not competitive (non profit organisation). Is this common? Is it going to be hard to find a team like that?
