Quick tip on setting up files to be ignored for your system.

1. Execute the command setting the location of your system level ignore file

git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore

2. Edit the Global Git Ignore File: ~/.gitignore

.DS_Store
*.swp
*.iml
*.ipr
*.iws
.classpath
.gitignore
.project
.settings/
.springBeans/
target/
.classpath

3. Peek into your Global Git configuration ~/.gitconfig

[user]
    name = Your Name
    email = you@yourdomain.com
[color]
    ui = auto
[core]
    editor = mate
    excludesfile = /Users/youruser/.gitignore
