.gitignore in whitelist mode

.gitignore

# This file demonstrates how to effectively use Git in whitelist mode. All
# files and directories are ignored unless explicitly allowed by lines starting
# with a !.

# As an example, below is a .gitignore file that can be used to track modified
# config files in the user's home directory.

# Ignore all files and directories at the root level
# Note: * doesn't descend into subdirectories
/*

# You may put a '.gitignore' in '~/.local/share/applications/' to ignore
# 'mimeinfo.cache' or do it in here directly
