Sometimes we ignore the duplicate files for every project.DS_Store or npm-debug.log*, we can save time using a global .gitignore.

Note: Be Keep in mind that it will change your default behavior on your computer. If you share a project, be careful which directories you set into it. For example, if you add &gt;node_modules/, then you can't add or .vscode.

How to save time using global .gitignore

I'm passionate about front-end development, specializing in building UI libraries and working with technologies like Angular, NgRx, Accessibility, and micro-frontends.


I’m a frontend developer using Typescript Angular or Vue because a few years ago, I was a .NET guy; it allowed helping my team with C#, MVC, and EF. I love NBA, running, summertime, and terror movies.
