Git - Global gitignore

Some types of temporary files are spanding across project, such as .swp (VIM temporary file type).

To put *.swp to every project's repositories makes duplicate job.

One way to solve this issue is to put it to Global gitignore.

From this blog Git global ignores, i will copy to here, also.

- Create .gitignore file at somewhere, mostly at ~/
git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore


- An pattern of file, you want to do global ignore in to that file.

That's it.

[Solved] autoscan: not found

If you are in process of compiling something on Ubuntu and you get error similar to these
./bootstrap.sh: 24: autoscan: not found

You have to install autoscan program but you can not find autoscan with
sudo aptitude search autoscan

The package name you have to install is autoconf. I don't know why because I'm not an expert on C/Linux but after below command, the compilation works.
sudo apt-get install autoconf
