Filefile

Filefile is a file used to keep track of all the files you have in your repository’s root directory that end in file.

Wait, what?

The root directories of countless projects across the interwebs are littered with equally countless Filefiles. I find this somewhat entertaining, because it’s inherently obvious that they’re all files.

What should go in your Filefile

Here is what your average project’s Filefile might look like:

Gemfile
Rakefile
Procfile
Makefile
Cakefile
Guardfile
Blakefile
Knylefile
Filefile
Vagrantfile
Tenderfile

Yes, your Filefile should include itself at the end. Deal with it.
