Cool post.
I highly suggest using templates from https://github.com/github/gitignore for your project as they tend to include a lot of files commonly found in them - eg .idea folders and so on.

For per-user gitignore, one can set the following config in ~/.gitconfig:
# System-wide gitignore file
# To avoid in-repo repetition for system-specifc garbage files
[core]
excludesfile = ~/.config/git/gitignore
You should just pick the nearly exhaustive option instead
