Re:.gitignore Is Inherently Sisyphean by milesrout on Monday July 28, 2025 @06:44PM (#44716639)
No. IDE-specific ignore lists should go in $CONFIG/git or .git/info/exclude (or whatever the path is).

(git config --global core.excludesfile "$CONFIG/git/ignore")

.gitignore is committed to the repository and should be for files created by the repository that shouldn't appear in 'git status' like build/, etc.
