Hi,
I see that we're both using VSCode!
What do you think about using the git config --global system to manage OS and editor gitignore patterns? That way, contributors can interact with the repository without potentially introducing dozens of additional patterns, regardless of their particular host or editor stack.
Example:
https://github.com/mcandre/dotfiles/blob/master/src/.gitignore-global
Second, this configuration leans on the community gitignore.io database of common gitignore patterns, for maximum completeness. Why memorize the exact patterns, when the Internet does it for us?
Enjoy your YouTube videos, by the way. My dad asks me all the time about my work, and I often struggle to find the words to hyperabstract day to day operations in a way accessible to general audiences. I like your creative metaphors.
