[Recipe] Use a global .gitignore file
If you want to use a global .gitignore file shared by all your Git projects, just follow the next steps.
- Create the file, e.g. at your dotfiles directory:
$ touch ~/.dotfiles/gitignore
- Fill it with whatever you want:
❯ cat ~/.dotfiles/gitignore .DS_Store .vscode/ *.log node_modules/
- Set Git’s option core.excludesfile to the path of the previous file:
$ git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.dotfiles/gitignore
Done.
You can change the ~/.dotfiles/gitignore
path to wherever you have your global .gitignore file.
Error cause: email field should be unique. It is not asked at user creation time and because of that, it’s saved as blank on the database. There is a current user with an empty email in the database, thus, it throws the violation of the unique value constraint.
