What files or folder should be ignored in .gitignore

[tenzan]

Before I push the project to github, what files and/or folder should be specified in .gitignore ?

Take a look at these two threads:

Version control

Hi guys, What should and shouldn’t I put in version control? In others words: how usually is Meteor apps .gitignore files? I saw that /.meteor has a .gitignore that just ignores /.meteor/local and read about ignoring setttings.json file too. There is already a common pattern in the community? If I clone a Meteor app, it should run just fine? What about Node & Mongo hosts and ports? Cheers!

and

Should I commit a generated .versions file?

After publishing my Meteor package, I noticed that a .versions file appeared. $ cat .versions base64@1.0.3 binary-heap@1.0.3 callback-hook@1.0.3 check@1.0.5 csats:libxmljs@1.0.0 ... Should I commit this file?

The good part of Ember is when you create a new project it generates .gitignore and place there what should be ignored by default.

As does Meteor (it puts it in the .meteor/ folder).
