Unfortunately, this has happened to the best of us at some point, amirite?!

Inspired by this monstrosity, I decided to do some investigation!

Here is how to create a global.gitignore file to define a list of rules for ignoring files inevery single Git repository on your computer…

  touch ~/.gitignore_global  echo node_modules >> ~/.gitignore_global  echo .DS_Store >> ~/.gitignore_global  echo .vscode >> ~/.gitignore_global  git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore_global
