alt Hacker News>~/.config/git/ignore
This never be considered as a solution. It only works on that PC, when working with a team, this approach is wrong in so many levels.
I host my own Forgejo server/repos, it is just me but .gitignore just makes more sense. It is on the root of the project, and I only have one file to manage. No matter that PC/device I am using, they are automatically covered.

That sounds like a you problem for not syncing your dotfiles across devices
Idk, I can imagine a specific weird usecase. I use IntelliJ. My coworkers don't. They don't want my .idea folder in git. (You're probably thinking "ok, yep, gitignore!" And you're right except my boss ideologically does not want any *hint* of what IDE you use in the repo. Including in the gitignore.
So each person putting .vscode or .idea in their local config's ignore actually makes sense. (Relative to the nonsensical parent requirement... of course).
