Without the asterisk at the end of the directory's path, an exception for
a file within this directory does not work.
(ex. !packages/repositories.config)
This reverts commit 0fb0fbefa5.
Restore the Xcode rules to the Objective-C template as per the discussion
thread on 5bd4330. Although the rules correspond to an IDE and so are
global, most users of the Obj-C template expect to find the Xcode rules
in the template generated by github.com, since the IDE is so ubiquitous.
This could possibly be resolved by adding a template transclusion
mechanism in the future, but for now duplication is the way to go.
This is a PR to remove the opinionated lines from the Node.js .gitignore file.
I do not believe that Github's pre-baked .gitignore files should be promulgating opinions, especially in a community that is as fresh as the Node.js community. Questions of what should be checked in should be a decision made on an organization-by-organization basis, or left up to the individual. Github's inclusion of opinion in these files puts unnecessary authority behind that opinion, which can have the negative side-effect of people following without thinking.
.DCU (Delphi Compiled Unit) files are binary files that are used between compiling source (text) and linking the executable. They're created by the compiler, joined together in memory, combined with the startup code and put into an actual executable (.EXE/.DLL/.BPL) by the linker
Support for Phalcon, a PHP Framework
Manually fixed up the rules in the original PR to be consistent with our
omission of the trailing asterisk elsewhere. Fixes#846.
The original ignore was far too general and results in eliminating packages
named "db" or "project", for example. These are not that uncommon for package
names. Fixes#921.
This commit adds a global ignore file for SlickEdit, a commercial editor.
SlickEdit will create the following files when the user sets up a workspace:
*.vpw Workspace file. Contains a list of project files associated with
the workspace.
*.vpj Project file. Contains the project’s settings, including the list
of source files.
*.vpwhist Workspace history file for Windows. Contains user session
information (list of open files, debugger breakpoints, etc.)
*.vpwhistu Workspace history file for UNIX/Linux/MacOSX. (Same as above.)
*.vtg Workspace tag file. Contains a database of source code symbols.
It is assumed that GitHub users will generally not want to store their
workspace and project files in a repository, so those files are ignored
globally. However, those files do not contain user-specific data so they
could be stored in a repository and shared among developers if desired for
a particular project. This can be done by adding rules like ’!*.vpw’ and
‘!*.vpj’ to the project’s .gitignore file.
The workspace history and tag files contain user-specific data, so they
should not be stored in a repository.

Searching for ‘vpwhist’ will lead to the section that discusses storing
these files in a repository.
