## Folder structure

|
|
|
-The files in the root directory are for `.gitignore` templates that are
|
|
|
-project-specific, such as language or framework specific templates.
|
|
|
-Global (operating system or editor specific) templates should go into the
|
|
|
-[`Global/`](./Global) directory.
|
|
|
+We support a collection of templates, organized in this way:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- [`Global`](./Global) contains templates for various editors, tools and
|
|
|
+ operating systems that can be used in different situations. It is recommended
|
|
|
+ that you either [add these to your global template](https://help.github.com/articles/ignoring-files/#create-a-global-gitignore)
|
|
|
+ or merge these rules into your project-specific templates if you want to use
|
|
|
+ them permanently.
|
|
|
+- [`ecosystem`](./ecosystem) contains specialized templates coalescing around
|
|
|
+ popular programming languages, but don't make sense to live in the mainstream
|
|
|
+ templates. These should be added to your project-specific templates when you
|
|
|
+ decide to adopt the framework or tool.
