Git ignores .gitignore with .gitignore in .gitignore

• dotfiles

  7 5 6.7 Shell

  My dotfiles: macOS, OpenBSD, Linux. Setup: git init; git remote add github https://github.com/rollcat/dotfiles; git pull github master (by rollcat)

  This is my strategy for dotfiles. My home directory has a .gitignore with "*" in it. I will "git add -f" any files I want tracked; git is extremely efficient at ignoring the rest. It doesn't require any frameworks, symlinks, installation scripts, elaborate tutorials/manpages, or any other voodoo.

  To move in to a new machine - unfortunately you can't git clone into a non-empty directory, but the commands to work around that are simple enough to remember.

  7 117 7.2 Vim Script

  My configuration files and personal collection of scripts. (by BurntSushi)

  That's what I used to do, but I switched to Josh's strategy a couple years ago.[1] It doesn't "blow up" git-status. If some new piece of software creates a new directory with a bunch of random stuff in it, git-status will just show you the directory since it is is untracked, and not everything in it.

  config manager based on Git

  I feel obligated to point out vcsh [1], which is likely already packaged for your operating system.

  The main selling point is that you can set up various git repos for different things. I have one for SSH keys (and no, that does not get pushed anywhere except to my own private server), VIM, neovim, bash, and 'other' (for misc config files like .dir_colors, .gitconfig, etc.).

  I think I disagree, though the only person who should be messing with it is the maintainer. One of the easiest ways to ensure that everyone follows the same coding standard for a project (particularly for open source projects).

  I usually add something like specified in:
