Use pattern matching to exclude everything except .c, .h, .S, and .sh files from Git. Manually adding every test target has an absurd maintenance cost, is comically error prone, and leads to bikeshedding over whether or not the targets should be listed in alphabetical order. Deliberately do not include the one-off assets, e.g. config, settings, .gitignore itself, etc as Git doesn't ignore files that are already in the repository. Adding the one-off assets won't prevent mistakes where developers forget to --force add files that don't match the "allowed".

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
