Recommend using .gitattributes, .editorconfig and .gitignore files

[mattpalermo]

These files can be found in the CodeExport project directory. The .gitattributes file is important for fixing bugs which arise in Excel due to using Unix style line terminations. The other files help in other less serious ways.

This is so that how to use then gets documented?

Bc I have no idea how to use editor config 🙃

[mattpalermo]

I don't think the developer even needs to know much about them. At the very least, they just need to know that it will make things work smoother. Editor config is quite simple. Any decent, modern text editor will automatically see the file and adjust its behaviour accordingly. I use the Atom text editor and it works well for me.

VS Code here, ❤️ it 👍

[mattpalermo]

Nice! I remember now, I saw some VBA language plugin for vs code on your github. I've heard good things about it. I'll try it out one day.

Yeah I had a play around with making some snippets and then syntax highlighting and then some icons for the editor:

If you're interested 😄 👌

Anyhoo

Back to #75 does this need to be mentioned in the documentation somewhere?

[mattpalermo]

Yea, I think it does need to be documented. Probably the "Using" section of the README is the best place?
