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

add

*.pyc

in .gitignore file

and run this

git config --global core.excludesfile .gitignore

which worked for me
