HTML5 Boilerplate homepage | Documentation table of contents
HTML5 Boilerplate includes a basic project-level .gitignore
. This should
primarily be used to avoid certain project-level files and directories from
being kept under source control. Different development-environments will
benefit from different collections of ignores.
OS-specific and editor-specific files should be ignored using a "global ignore" that applies to all repositories on your system.
For example, add the following to your ~/.gitconfig
, where the .gitignore
in your HOME directory contains the files and directories you'd like to
globally ignore:
[core]
excludesfile = ~/.gitignore
