Alpaka: remove IDE specifics from .gitignore

[psychocoderHPC]

Based on the comment from @bertwesarg we should think about cleaning up .gitignore

This issue is for collecting argument for cleaning up .gitignore or keep the IDE specific exclusions.

I can only speak for myself but I do not configure my git environment on all systems I work with.
I use for quick tests often not configured systems where I am happy that I not see all tmp files when I run git diff to compare my current changes with the last commit.

I am against cleaning up .gitignore to keep my dirty workflows on the 7+ systems I working on.

I also cannot follow his argument.

There is a reason why GitHub provides .gitignore templates for projects, also adding the IDE files our developers use is just nice and does not harm in any way.

But you do setup your editor, right?

Since when does git diff shoes you untracked files?

What exactly would we achieve doing this? Other than a .gitignore with fewer lines, that is.

As this topic was a poll and I see 3 votes for keeping the current state and only 1 for removing entries from the .gitignore, I will close this now.
