I use this in my .gitignore But I am building for micro-controllers, so I don't know if it helps you much.

The easiest way to know, is just do a make clean, then add all your files, then do a make all and see what extra stuff appears.

#Some of these are related to eclipse. So i keep them out of my repo
.cproject
.dep/
.project
.settings/

#files being edited
*~

# make and build files
*.lst
*.o
*.eep
*.lss
*.map
*.sym

# I keep these, since I prefer having the reference of the final build
# *.elf
# *.hex
