## .gitignore

7

HTML5 Boilerplate includes a basic project-level `.gitignore`. This should





8

primarily be used to avoid certain project-level files and directories from





9

being kept under source control. Different development-environments will





10

benefit from different collections of ignores.





11






12

OS-specific and editor-specific files should be ignored using a "global





13

ignore" that applies to all repositories on your system.





14






15

For example, add the following to your `~/.gitconfig`, where the `.gitignore`





16

in your HOME directory contains the files and directories you'd like to





17

globally ignore:





18






19

```gitignore





20

[core]





21

    excludesfile = ~/.gitignore





22

```
