But they do: https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/main/Global/VisualStudioCode.gitignore https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/main/Global/VisualS... You need to merge the relevant ignore files to create one specific for you, so if you use VSCode on macOS VisualStudioCode.gitignore (e.g., .vscode) + macOS.gitignore (e.g., .DS_Store). There are files for other OSs and editors as well. Technically their README says that the Global folder is intended for user-specific ignore files. But you can still use them for the repo .gitignore. There is also this API which you can curl: https://gitignore.io/api/macos,vscode https://gitignore.io/api/macos,vscode Some of the templates seem to be identical, but I think they are not in sync.
