Git¶
If you are using git version control, you need a list of files and directories
for git to ignore. This are saved in the .gitignore
file.
GitHub maintains a great list of sample .gitignore
files in there
collection of useful .gitignore templates.
My .gitignore
for Python typically looks like this: .gitignore.
Note
Please teach your students not to check in SSH keys! Also make sure they don’t check in the results of a build. Go over a typical .gitignore so they understand why things should be, and should not be checked in.
