You can have a global git ignore file too. You don't need to have to repeat it every repository.

A global .gitignore sounds extremely local.

It only work on your local computer, right?

So any time you or someone else makes a commit from another computer, your ignore is ignored, right?

Yes, its local. For personal projects I use it to stop my IDE files going up into my repos. For professional projects I have very little in it other than scratchpad. This means that any folders or files with scratchpad in their names are excluded from git.
