As you may or may not know, I’ve been working with Magento lately. In the past few months, one thing I’ve found that I needed is a stock .gitignore file for when making extensions. Haven’t found one so I made one on github and will also post here for anyone else in need site. I’m still relatively new at working with Magento and in someways git/github so please feel free to critique/streamline.
