Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 6,436 PointsCan "Git ignore" be changed?
When creating a new repository, on desktop github, there is an option "Git ignore". Can you change that setting afterwards once the repo is created, either in github web and desktop versions?

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 6,436 PointsThanks guys, I didn't know a file was created based upon the wizard checkbox... Really starting out with git... Next time I'll check more carefully before asking!
