Thanks. -- >8 -- From: Denton Liu <liu.denton@gmail.com> Date: Thu, 7 Mar 2019 00:25:30 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] docs: move core.excludesFile from git-add to gitignore A section in "git add" documentation mentions core.excludesFile and explains how it works, but this is not specific to the command. Move this description to gitignore.txt to be more generic.
