I have some files like vim.gitignore, SVN.gitignore and CVS.gitignore (spread around on my hard disk).
Can I simply include these gitignore files in a .gitignore file in a new Git project?
Edit: I have a global ignore file already.
I just want to ignore different files in different types of projects, is this possible?
I run the a project that hosts the largest amount of gitignore templates and it's extremely easy to use.
You can install gitignore via command line to type
gi cvs,vim,svn
You can also update your existing templates using this url: https://www.gitignore.io/?templates=cvs,vim,svn
And finally, you can contribute to the list of templates which merges @github/gitignore and over 100 other community templates to create the largest repository of templates at: https://github.com/dvcs/gitignore
This doesn't allow anyone to include sub-templates, but it does generate one large template from individual git templates.
