This is why:
# git status
On branch master
Initial commit
Changes to be committed:
(use "git rm --cached <file>..." to unstage)
new file: myscript.sh
Changes not staged for commit:
(use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
(use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
modified: myscript.sh
Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
.gitignore
Putting .gitignore inside the file itself doesn't negate it's behavior.
Just seems like something that should be built in because a) no one wants
to see this listed as an untracked file and b) no one wants this included
in their actual project repository.
