Had enough of adding your IDE’s files to the .gitignore
file? Time to add a global ignore file for git.
Just execute the following commands.
On *nix or with Windows git bash:
git config --global core.excludesfile '~/.gitignore-global'
With Windows cmd:
git config --global core.excludesfile "%USERPROFILE%\.gitignore-global"
Then you need to create the file:
notepad %USERPROFILE%\.gitignore-global
And add for example the following contents:
data/ .idea/ *.log
That’s it, now you only have to do this one time and not for each project individually.
