## Folder structure
The files in the root directory are for `.gitignore` templates that are
project-specific, such as language or framework specific templates.
Global (operating system or editor specific) templates should go into the
[`Global/`](./Global) directory.
We support a collection of templates, organized in this way:
- [`Global`](./Global) contains templates for various editors, tools and
operating systems that can be used in different situations. It is recommended
that you either [add these to your global template](https://help.github.com/articles/ignoring-files/#create-a-global-gitignore)
or merge these rules into your project-specific templates if you want to use
them permanently.
- [`ecosystem`](./ecosystem) contains specialized templates coalescing around
popular programming languages, but don't make sense to live in the mainstream
templates. These should be added to your project-specific templates when you
decide to adopt the framework or tool.
