I am a bit confused about the different purpose of each.
I think the .gitignore file belongs in the root of my project and is
project specific, but that also seems to be the reason for the .git/
info/exclude file
what happens if they conflict? which one wins.
What is standard practice?
My exclude file looks like this
git-ls-files --others --exclude-from=.git/info/exclude
log/.log
tmp/**/
.DS_Store
doc/api
doc/app
I am on Hardy Heron, isn’t a .DS_Store a mac thang?
Should that all just be in my .gitignore file, which is empty?
Sorry for so many questions, but I can’t find shit about git on the
internet.(what a twit)
Thanks in advance

Yes, .DS_Store is Mac-specific. Since the Mac is a very common platform
for
Ruby/Rails work, it’s nice to list that file in your exclusions.

Very hard to believe. Here is a good place to look, though:
