git ignore

Tells you what’s currently being used to ignore stuff:
git config --get core.excludesfile
Configure git to ignore ~/.gitignore
git config --global core.excludesfile '~/.gitignore'
From github, here’s a suggestion of things to globally ignore:
# Compiled source #
###################

*.class
*.dll
*.exe
*.o
*.so

# it's better to unpack these files and commit the raw source
# git has its own built in compression methods
*.7z
*.dmg
*.gz
*.iso
