This PR introduces the agreed upon workaround for
npm
s inability to publish.gitignore
files (see npm/npm#3763).Going through the comments on the linked issue, it seems that the most common convention for working around this issue is exactly what we came up with, too - which is to copy
gitignore
template files as.gitignore
workspace files.I left
.gitignore
files in the templates because it is useful to have, for example,node_modules
gitignored during development.
