Description

question

I like @mgautierfr arguments at https://github.com/openzim/warc2zim/pull/228#discussion_r1567311274

I would suggest to :

  • very significantly simplify the .gitignore on the bootstrap
    • we should definitely remove the macos part
    • I even think that including Python exceptions on every .gitignore of every repositories makes very little sense
  • very strongly encourage users to properly setup their git configuration based on their editor

WDYT?
