I'm a first-time Git user. I found out how to ignore files with
Git. For example I've put "*.[oa]" and "*~" in ./git/info/exclude.
However, the rest of the persons doing commits in the public
repository might not have those entries. Is everyone required to
put those entries in "exclude" themselves or does Git allow for
those to be automatically added next time they do a "git pull"?
If you commit a .gitignore, it will be used by everyone. .git/info/
exclude is for your personal excludes. Generally, I'd suggest putting
build products in .gitignore and your editor's garbage in exclude.
For example:
project/.gitignore:
-------------------
*.o
*.a
random.tmp
project/.git/info/exclude:
--------------------------
.*.swp
*~
/my-todo.txt
If you add and commit the .gitignore file it will be picked up by
everyone, while whatever backups, temp files, notes, or whatever you
use can be kept private in your exclude file.
