Git Global Ignore Files possible ?

[apremdas]

In the screen cast Geoffrey uses .gitignore to ignore a .DS_Store
file. This could get pretty tedious to do for every project you work
on. Is there a way you can tell Git to globally ignore these files?

[Christopher Redinger]

Set up a 'global ignore file' like this:

git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore

Then list your .DS_Store in that .gitignore file.

Of course then that .gitignore file is per-user, so it won't get
tracked in version control. Meaning other developers would need to
follow suite.
