The diff changes are awesome, and I always wondered why there isn't a global .gitignore file in the first place, seeing that every .gitignore file basically has (mostly) the same content
There's also a possible downside here in having things hidden for you but not for others since it's not in your `.gitignore` project file.
I'm honestly kind of on the fence about this one, I don't have much in that file for those reasons.
I find it annoying to have those folders on my machine, that I don't need, but yet are checked into the git tree, so I basically cannot delete them, without affecting another person, when they pull my changes. Why you check that in bro??? Ugh.
I don't check in my Emacs backup files and shit either. I would like to aee their long faces, when faced with all of the files and folders other tools leave behind. People just aren't capable to configure their editors properly I guess and therefore rely on local config for things that could be global config or in a ".editorconfig", like for example trimming trailing whitespace.
Yes, if those files apply to all team members using the same tool absolutely check them in. What's the problem? It reads to me like maybe you don't know what these files are actually used for and why a team benefits from sharing them.
I think it's the most readable and understandable diff.

Also both great TUI diff tools
Very useful if you want to add your own .envrc or shell.nix to a repo.
