# A Collection of Useful .gitattributes Templates Similarly to the [`.gitignore` Templates][gt], we're trying to build templates for `.gitattributes`. `Common.gitattributes` contains general exclusions that may apply to any project. Consider including them if they are applicable to your project. You can use [this handy dandy generator](https://richienb.github.io/gitattributes-generator) to generate your gitattributes files on the fly based on files inside of this repository. Please contribute by [forking][fk] and sending a [pull request][pr]. Also **please** only modify **one file** per commit. This'll make merging easier for everyone.
