I also (mis)used .gitignore before I realised that there was an easy way to ignore stuff that I have locally without having to commit/ignore a .gitignore file.

I didn't! Good to know, even if my way is really quick and simple to set up so I might continue doing the same. Thanks!

Not at a term, but would this prevent `git clean -fdx` from removing the dir? That’d be quite useful!
