+1 for a local .gitignore file. The list very rarely grows, and there are templates available to copy and paste out of if you want to build up a decent coverage straight up. For example, the following can be combined to get Maven, Eclipse and IntelliJ coverage: https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/master/Maven.gitignore https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/master/Global/Eclipse.gitignore https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/master/Global/JetBrains.gitignore Cheers, Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
