I’m a noob to RoR, so any help/clarification is appreciated.
Is the .gitignore file in Rails universal/global to all of Rails, or does each project/app have its own .gitignore?
A default
.gitignoreis created when you create a new Rails app. That file tells git to ignore the things that are in a default Rails app that should probably be ignored.If there are other files that should be ignored in your specific app, you can make changes to the
.gitignore. If you’re not using git, you can delete the file entirely.It’s basically there to encourage best practices, but is in no way required to run a Rails app.
