Recently I started to play around a side projct again and I came to the sad conclusion that I've forgotten a lot about Git. Among the things I've forgotten is how to create a gitignore file and even what to put in one. There are plenty of tutorials on how to make a gitignore file out there, but I couldn't find any good examples of a gitignore file for a Java EE environment. Luckily for me, I have some git master friends and they shared their gitignore with me and since I would like to remember it, here it is.
