I've checked github's gitignore files. They provide an excellent starting point. But you'd have to merge the files for each new project. My Android gitignore is targeted for developers that are mainly developing software for Android, no matter what OS or build tool they use locally.

Doesn't line#4 (*.jar) block any libraries (like "android-support-v4.jar") in your libs folder?

@Oka133 Yes, that's true. Since I'm building with maven, I don't need any jar files in my repository.
Do you know a way to include jar files from any libs folder within the project structure?
I'd be happy to add it.

Thanks i needed this for some of my developers who didn't have a clue what to exclude. :-) happyness. LOL
