## 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.
