Oh interesting, I thought this was going to be a .gitignore file we could use in all projects :D Do you have any thoughts on rather than listing all the file extensions you don't want to track: - https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/.gitign... - https://github.com/redis/redis/blob/unstable/.gitignore - https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/main/.gitignor...

You'd list the file extensions you want to track? Here is an example for a PHP project:

* !/ !.php !.md !.xml !.gitignore !composer.json

Or Clojure:

* !/ !.clj !*.md target/ !.gitignore

If you have exceptions on these rules, you can always force-add the files or add the extension to .gitignore, to configure it not being ignored.
