# ╭─────────────────────── Notice ── Notice ── Notice ────────────────────────╮
# │ The recommended approach is to add ONLY project-specific rules to the     │
# │ .gitignore of a repo. Users can put rules that apply to their individual  │
# │ ways of doing things into global git ignore files that they set up using  │
# │ (e.g.) "git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore_global". For   │
# │ example, a number of files such as Emacs checkpoint and backup files are  │
# │ things that are not specific to a given project; rather, Emacs creates    │
# │ them everywhere, in all projects, because they're a byproduct of how it   │
# │ works. Thus, rules to ignore them belong in users' own global .gitignore  │
# │ files, not in a project's .gitignore.                                     │
# │                                                                           │
