Wait until you learn about

  .git/exclude
  --assume-unchanged
  --no-update-index

And fwiw, I think global/home-dir .gitignore is bad, for everything except of OS-level spam like .DS-Store

Nah, I generate dependency trees from gradle because of the crappy way current $job has aggressive transient dependency scanning and I can't stand just updating someone else's transient dependency without validating that there isn't at least a new version of whatever pulled it in.

I have dependency_tree globally excluded because it is my unique naming convention. Actually it might just be my unique approach because other people don't seem to mind having 1000 overrides for libraries they don't use.

		Fair, and sorry, my tone was a bit off, I didn't think much when commenting. My preference of not having much in my global gitignore is only sensible for my particular daily work, if you need to partially track build folders in projects and can't control the ignore files automatically, a global ignore might make sense.
