Hey, Thanks, I appreciate the response. It sounds like your main concern is the overhead of maintaining the .gitignore file, is that right? Could that potentially be mitigated by a clear writeup of what's included, why, and then an easy way to close all other tickets? E.g. we could easily just use github's Python default, declare that the policay, and call it day. Perhaps that overhead would be no less than having to have this conversation over and over again as it seems clear has already been happening.
As for the point that not everyone uses git, that's true, but according to the latest SO survey it's used by 94% of respondents <https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2022/#section-version-control-version-control-systems>. That seems like a pretty solid majority to help support, no? thanks, Cory On Fri, Mar 10, 2023 at 10:39 AM Mariusz Felisiak < felisiak.mari...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm -1.
