## Folder structure
2020

21-
The files in the root directory are for `.gitignore` templates that are
22-
project-specific, such as language or framework specific templates.
23-
Global (operating system or editor specific) templates should go into the
24-
[`Global/`](./Global) directory.
21+
We support a collection of templates, organized in this way:
22+
23+
- [`Global`](./Global) contains templates for various editors, tools and
24+
operating systems that can be used in different situations. It is recommended
25+
that you either [add these to your global template](https://help.github.com/articles/ignoring-files/#create-a-global-gitignore)
26+
or merge these rules into your project-specific templates if you want to use
27+
them permanently.
28+
- [`ecosystem`](./ecosystem) contains specialized templates coalescing around
29+
popular programming languages, but don't make sense to live in the mainstream
30+
templates. These should be added to your project-specific templates when you
31+
decide to adopt the framework or tool.
