The largest collection of useful .gitignore templates

GitHub currently hosts the canonical repository of .gitignore templates at https://github.com/github/gitignore, but occasionally is hesitant to merge changes without proper documentation based on their contributing guidelines. This repository serves as an alternate source for contributing .gitignore templates.

This project is also the canonical repository where the https://www.gitignore.io template list comes from.

• <file-name>.gitignore - gitignore template
• <file-name>.patch - Used by https://www.gitignore.io to append ignore patterns to files maintined by GitHub
• order — Definition of template order preference
