Re: how to ignore all .xvpics directories

Christoph Duelli [off-list ref] writes:

Is it possible to ignore (once and for all) that directories like
.pics or .xvpics (that might occur all over the place where xv was
called) should be ignored?

in ~/.gitconfig:

[core]
        excludesfile = /home/yourlogin/.gitignore

then, in ~/.gitignore:

.xvpics

and all your .xvpics will be ignored for all your projects.

(it's nice to keep such ignore list user-wide and not project-wide if
you don't want to bother your collaborators with your choice of
software).
