How to ignore files and folder globally in git?

Every time we work in an existing/new project IDE and operating system keep creating multiple files and we need to handle them in every. By **using global git ignore **file we can globally ignore this and save some time.

Add the global config file in Mac or Linux:

1. Fire your terminal
2. Run touch ~/.gitignore_global - this will create global .gitignore file in your home directory.
3. Add some values that you would like to always ignore. 
4. Run git config –global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore_global. According to this page at git-scm.com{: target="_blank"} this command will make all the patterns from ~/.gitignore_global ignored in all situations.

Done !!
