+### IDE Configuration files
+Machine specific configuration files may be generaged by your IDE while working on the project. Please make sure to add these files to a global .gitignore so they are kept from accidentally being commited to the project and causing issues for other contributors.
+
+Some examples of these files are the `.idea` folder created by JetBrains products (WebStorm, IntelliJ, etc) as well as `.vscode` created by Visual Studio Code for workspace specific settings.
