Add gitignore file about launchy HOT 3 CLOSED

What sorts of personal junk files do you end up adding?

Here's a commented version of cat */.gitignore | sort -u if you're interested :) https://pastebin.com/xeyCS9Cr

That page also has an interesting section I didn't know about on excluding local files without creating a .gitignore file. I wonder if that would work for you.

That looks very interesting indeed, I haven't ever seen that before either. But it looks like it's exactly intended for the workflow I'm using, according to a StackOverflow answer (link). Thank you for that, I shall use that instead of .gitignore and see how it goes :D

Sorry for removing the .gitignore file with no comment

I agree that .gitignore is invaluable. However I like to put personal junk files into .gitignore as well so that they don't litter the VSCode git file list. I don't want to commit the list of personal junk files to github though, because it changes every so often and it's also not relevant to others. That's why I usually put .gitignore into .gitignore itself

If you know a better solution, I'd be glad to hear :)

Interesting, I've never seen that sort of workflow before. What sorts of personal junk files do you end up adding?

If you keep them named similarly in all repos, one trick I've used before is adding a global gitignore.
