For easyness of reading I would suggest you merge the two files together with something like: + .Skype/*** + .local/ + .local/share/ + .local/share/local-mail/*** + .mozilla/*** - - .* - - Desktop/ - - Download/ Though I don't actually suggest excluding .* since there are lots of important configuration files that you will be excluding that way.
