When working on projects with other developers you might (like me) find yourself wanting to customize the project console in a way that’s not useful as a default but it is useful for you. And ideally, I don’t want to modify the project, these are just my configurations. I deserve some privacy.

I use the ~/.gitignore_global to ignore any personal initializers anywhere

Ah yes, you mean declaring it as a global excludes file, i.e. git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore_global?

That's a great tip.

It's a bit of a personal preference. For some things (like .DS_Store on mac) I like it globally ignored, for more project specific stuff I prefer to keep it project by project. Either is good.
