docs: clarify global gitignore and fix typos

[LiviaMedeiros]

The Make sure your credentials won't be committed part of guide implies that ~/.gitignore_global is a default path for global gitignore.

If anyone followed this part too literally, I'd recommend to doublecheck their setup with something like:

$ cat "$(git config --global core.excludesFile || echo ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-${HOME}/.config}/git/ignore)"
# should show the contents of global gitignore

This is applicable to Linux; I'm unsure about other platforms. git config --global core.excludesfile should work everywhere, but note that setting it overrides file in default location (if any).
