Shouldn't the per-project config file (/path/to/my/project/.npmrc) be in the .gitignore file

Shouldn't the per-project config file (/path/to/my/project/.npmrc) be in the .gitignore file?

Ref: https://docs.npmjs.com/files/npmrc.html

@cquezel But we don't have .npmrc in our project. If you think it's important, would you like to create a PR on why we need that and add the file and it's entry in .gitignore?

I thought this was a "general" project for starting a npm module. The .npmrc file is a user per project configuration file used by npm. I think that most users would not want their personal configuration to be checked in to GIT or to use someone else's configuration which was accidentally checked in.

You're right. I agree that this project should hightlight the use of .npmrc file. Feel free to create a PR or I can get to it in the next few days.
