The rules which were previously located in Objective-C.gitignore are purely Xcode related, and therefore should be located in Global/Xcode.gitignore, as are the rules for every other IDE. This comes in handy because one may be working with Xcode in another language (e.g. C/C++) and would probably not look in the Objective-C.gitignore file for the rules. Then again, I have to admit that most people working with Objective-C are in fact working with Xcode, which is why I created an alias to the Xcode rules with the old name, that is, Objective-C.gitignore
A Collection of Useful .gitignore Templates
That's what we're trying to build. Please contribute by forking and sending a pull request.
Also please only modify one file per commit. This'll make merging easier for everyone.
Global gitignores (OS-specific, editor-specific) should go into the
Global/ directory.

Global Ignores
git has a global configuration that applies rules to all of your projects. For example:
git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.global_ignore
... will apply the rules in ~/.global_ignore for all of your repos.
This is useful if you use an editor (like Emacs) that drops backup files, or if you work in an environment that generates binary or intermediate files that are always ignored.
