Bring in a number of default ignores / remove one that was duplicated #179
Conversation
While not a standard, this is used quite often to store empty directories since git does not track directories but rather files. In that case, ignore this file.
These if licensed are from the source projects and do not need relicensed.
some users have reported .idea being picked up. This varies in setup from others with assumption its always at the root. While that is appropriate, its possible a bad import could have it elsewhere. To be save, ignore them all.
more typical these days is 'LICENSE' for the file to contain the full license and 'LICENSE_HEADER' to contain the header portion. While there are certainly other legacy types like various case license.txt situations, those are legacy and probably not necessary to apply.
These don't work if extra stuff is added

This list probably could grow forever. I added most common ones I run into over 500+ repos at my day job. I'm sure there are many more and this is just the tip of the iceburg. Let me know what you think. On the '.idea' one, I have been getting reports that 3.0 is licensing files in the folder so I suspect since this was only one not in the typical style as others it was likey some user error but see no harm in ensuring any .idea folder elsewhere is also ignored. The xls entry was in the file already under docs. |

@mathieucarbou Sorry I forgot to commas. Fixed that. I also added /node/ to be skipped. Same reason as node_modules. Thanks. After this is in, is it possible for you to run a RC2? I have a number of people that want to try this out. More so for the .idea change as it was confirmed to me that idea will stick the idea folder into any folder that contains node/node modules so it will show up many times. Beyond that I think I have a few more things but need to run some wide testing before I suggest more. Appreciate it! |
