This repository has been archived by the owner on Mar 3, 2023. It is now read-only.
It is a commen strategy in the industry to store project related files in the "git-folder" (repository). You might have observed like me many repos that contain too many files remote. This in turn relates to a bad setup and or management of the .gitignore file.
Description
Hence I suggest various improvents concerning the management of .gitignore in atom. Here is a tiny snippet of a sample file:
# no VIM-undo files (*~) nor any dot-files (.*)
# this implies the OS-files (._*)
# BUT: do not ignore the ignorer!
.*
!/.gitignore
*~
Suggestions:
Syntax-Highlight this mandatory-special-file.
The grayed-out files are nice. Better replace the mouseover-text with "suppressed by .gitignore".
Provide hints, how to remove in the remote-repo redundant or unwanted files respectively.
From my understanding we should strive for lean, neatly managed repos on github. This is my humble suggestion to improve the LOCAL vs. REMOTE file management. Happy to receive your comments.
