Git Ignore

We need to define a git filter to ignore specific lines, in this case, lines that contain the ;gitignore text. This is really useful for ignoring some credentials that might be present in the files.

git config filter.gitignore.clean "sed '/;gitignore\$/d'"
# or 
git config --global filter.gitignore.clean "sed '/;gitignore\$/d'"
