From 54bdeaab888fb9085e718ef6ac781daa5d629e04 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew DeVore <matvore@gmail.com> Date: Tue, 26 Mar 2019 10:27:38 -0700 Subject: .gitignore: remove editor- and OS-specific files Whenever Vim opens a file, it creates a .<filename>.swp file in the same directory as the file. Emacs adds *~ backup files. macOS creates .DS_Store files. Other editors and OS' surely do their own thing. Rather than add each one's own swap/backup file to this .gitignore, encourage users to add the corresponding items to their system-wide gitignore files.
