Add option to git to ignore binary files unless force added

2018-05-16 Thread Anmol Sethi
I think it’d be great to have an option to have git ignore binary files. My repositories are always source only, committing a binary is always a mistake. At the moment, I have to configure the .gitignore to ignore every binary file and that gets tedious. Having git ignore all binary files would
