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

Another way to ignore some file patterns is: add *.pyc to .git/info/excludes, this is a much cleaner way.
