Default ignore files (feature request)

[ff6347]

This is more a feature request.
Would it be possible to set some basic ignore files in .gistup.json?
On Mac the .DS_Store gets added to the version control.
I added an alias to my .bash_profile to create a .gitignore file in the folder

alias gistup='echo ".DS_Store" > .gitignore;gistup'

but that makes the naming of the gist ugly (see the image)

I could remove the .DS_Store with an alias, but I think everybody else on Mac will have the same problem.

You should set a global .gitignore for Git instead. Run the following command:

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

Then edit your ~/.gitignore to add the files you want to ignore. For example:

.DS_Store
node_modules

Oh. That's a far better solution. I didn't know this is possible. Thanks a lot.
