my hottest git take is that .gitignore is an antipattern
you shouldn’t be using git in a way where it would affect your workflow

@aescling What?? 
Then how am I supposed to tell Git to ignore my Vim .swp files?
Follow
@vaporeon_ ftr, you can tell vim to store all swapfiles in a purrticular directory (e.g., set directory=~/.vim/swap// (double slash intentional)) if you want to avoid littering swap files all over the filesystem
@aescling Ooh, that seems useful!
