git, don't show me *.pyc in the list of untracked files!

Question

When doing:

>git status

It shows a big list of .pyc files under \"untracked files\". I don\'t want it to show these, as it adds noise.<

Answer 1

git config --global core.excludesfile "c:\program files\whatever\global_ignore.txt"

Then, add

*.foo

to that file.
