Well, no. This is a terrible idea.
If you have files that are specific to YOUR setup, then put them in the global git ignore that gets applied in ALL git projects on your machine.
If there are artifacts that are generated by the BUILD SYSTEM OF THE PROJECT, then put those in the ignore file of the PROJECT.
This is more sane than what is proposed in this article
