As is clearly stated in the [eclipse documentation](http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_How_do_I_set_up_a_Java_project_to_share_in_a_repository%3F).  
This gitignore has lead to much confusion in SO - please ammend

I would guess the same is true for .pydevproject and .cproject but can't
be sure/do not have any references on those

Also .launch configurations are generally meant to be versioned when
saved under project location. See for instance :

Ensure single trailing newline

add .xccheckout to Objective-C gitignore

This is a file that Xcode 5 uses for version control, doesn't need to be checked in. Also see http://stackoverflow.com/a/18448100/1877078

added secret_token.rb

Ignore kernel object files

I added secret_token.rb file to the gitignore as there are public repos sharing it.

Ignore Vim untitled and unsaved buffer swapfiles

This repository didn't have a CONTRIBUTING.md file. Now it does.

Per discussion in #148.

Updated to exclude *.publishsettings

More pr consolidation

Update VisualStudio.gitignore for vs 2012 web deploy setting.

Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone seems to generate .cachefile files.

If you use package restore, you actually don't want this file
included. It's not needed. It's only needed if you version
packages. AKA, you only need this file if you are not ignoring
the "packages" folder.

Dotnet gitignore pr consolidation

I agree to ignore the NuGet packages folder, but I really think you should check in the repositories.config so NuGet PackageRestore can do it's magic when someone pulls the code and tries to build it...

Add trailing slashes to folders, RS rule comment, remove dupes.

This might be created temporarily during a build.

VS2012 creates UpdateLog2.htm - not needed in git repository

New web deploy file name? vs 2012 added this to my solution and it shouldn't go to an open repo.

Consolidate CSharp and VB.NET gitignore files into VisualStudio one.

Cross platform .NET Dev FTW!
