You should create a GitHub account and place this file there so you can reference it at any time. That and you can share it with the community.

Awesome.

Surely, this belongs in a gist :)

If I’m not mistaken, the *.resharper will kill solutionwide settings for resharper (if you’re using them).

If you use a file-based DB or file-based logs, you may want to account for those too. In my case I very often have machine-specific config settings that go in a file that I don’t want in the repo.

another tip – you can do a “global” .gitignore with git config, but that won’t work on a shared repo. However, you can save a stock .gitignore in some root folder (i keep mine in ~/code) and then alias the “git init” or “git clone” commands to include copying that .gitignore to the local dir

If you use monodevelop add:

*.usertasks
*.userprefs

and if you have 3rd party components with bad licensing tech, you will want to ignore also

*.licx
